It will sort itself out. The only difference is reddit's search function works slightly better because it's centralized, but I think that issue will be solved eventually
I could see a good use case for having at least a centralized, cross instance search where the instances will send up community information to the service and then the service shares it out with everyone. Rather than make a new community on my instance I could find the active community and federate it.
Then again the same thing happens on Reddit for popular topics. Like when a new game is announced there might be 5 people trying to start the subreddit for it.

Definitely early days teething issues. There's gonna be thousands of dead communities in a week's time and it'll take time before things settle down and people come to a consensus on the major ones.
