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.

You don't have to sign up on multiple sites, you just subscribe to specific channels you care about from the site you signed up for. For instance, signing up to lemmy.ml's Politics, Lemmy.world's Tech, and fedia.io's Cats.

For instance, here's a link to !startrek@startrek.website that you can interact with and subscribe to from your Lemmy.ml account: https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek@startrek.website
