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?

    I believe they only use one bot, and they all come from the same instance. I already just blocked the bot.

    I don’t understand the point of cross-posting from advice subs at all.

      I get it if that post from reddit can spark some inferesting discussion between lemmings. What I don’t get is people copying posts from AITA or stuff like that, where the original poster is looking for responses from the comments. I saw one for the LTT subreddit and I’m kinda torn on that, because it can spark some discussion, but its not like LTT is actually going to interact with a bot copy of the subreddit.
