When feed readers worked for me, which was all the way back when Slashdot was in its early phase of decline, I would keep tabs on the domain named for the threads I got engaged in, and if I saw a pattern I’d go look for an RSS link, and then sometimes I got to be the one to post the interesting article.

I’m hoping Lemmy has a cross posting function that will serve a similar use case. You start in a woodworking forum here and someone reveals the DIWhy forum to you organically. After six to twelve months you have your hands full.
