I'm just getting familiar with lemmy fediverse and trying to make my way through it after getting out from reddit. I'm trying out liftoff app for android and I'm seeing way more double posts from different instances from same users. Same content from same users on multiple instances. I thought fediverse supposed to, You post in whatever instance you are and it'll be shared among all instances. I'm more confused now.

You post from your instance, but the post will appear in the instance that hosts the community you posted to. I'm not seeing these duplicates, but I don't use the app you're using - I just use the web interface. Could you give an example of where you see this?
