I found a major communication problem with public perception of Lemmy. they seem to think a community is tied to a particular instance (www.reddit.com)

This is a big problem. It creates the illusion that /c/cats on one particular instance is the real /c/cats.

This is the root of re-centralization and it must be pulled out.

I think people are not realizing that common users don't want to deal with defederated communitities. If a normal user is looking for a community like programming humor, I don't want to have to figure out which of 10 different instances to post in. I don't want 10 slightly different versions with mostly the same posts, but 10 different comment sections.
