I set up a subvolume named @snapshots inside /.snapshots. I observed that apt-btrfs-snapshot saves snapshots in the root/base area of the partition, while Timeshift keeps them in a separate timeshift-btrfs subvolume at root. I'm looking to consolidate everything and think it might be similar to the approach described in a guide I found.

They don't operate that way. There are smaller volumes within them, and each can store snapshots. You can't transfer snapshots from one volume to another.
