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.

This will sort itself out as people get used to and understand the fediverse better. I think not having a good cross instance search for communities is part of the contributing factor to this confusion. At least it was for me.
