Subscribing to the same magazines/communities on Kbin and Lemmy? (kbin.social)

Just starting to familiarize myself with everything after about a decade at reddit. I understand that you can view content across instances but I'm noticing that both kbin and lemmy have similar (competing?) magazines/communities.

For example @PCGaming and !pcgaming (lemmyworld) but then there is also, @pcgaming, [email protected], etc.

Do I have to subscribe to all of them? Or are there "official" fediverse communities?

As I said, I'm still trying to figure things out, but subscribing to so many similar communities seems cumbersome for the user and (imo) fragments userbases that are literally talking about the same thing.

Thanks in advance!

Nothing is official. That's a bit like asking if there is an "official" newspaper. There are just competing papers, some of which try to cover the same topics, some of which are associated with different geographic regions or certain kinds of people. You can subscribe to multiple newspapers, but there's a good chance you will see a lot of articles covering the same event in both. But there's also a chance that each paper will have different enough discourse about the same article that you might consider that tradeoff worthwhile.
