Is it possible to automatically subscribe to all (federated) communities with the same name?

Example in the screenshot: I want to follow !astronomy, and I don’t really care whether the content is coming from from Lemmy.World, kbin.social and mander.xyz - I just want to see it all.

Obviously I could manually subscribe to them all, but is it possible to do so automatically? Ideally if a new similar community pops up on another instance, I wouldn’t miss it.

I read here that community grouping is a thing, so that instances with identical communities can work together. Is that a feature that could work towards this end?

      Great feature. Not what OP is asking about.

      You had to seek out each subreddit individually to add it to a multi-reddit.

        This - I loved multireddit but it wasn’t an autosub. It was just a convenient way to organize your subs once you had them set. If I was feeling too burnt out on the news, I could switch to a multireddit with just cats, hobbies, and food.
