Posting on other instances? (lemmy.cloudhub.social)

I like that Lemmy can post on other instances (communities on other instances), but thinking about it, would that not present a potential issue with centralizing information about a topic on one instance?

I know it's kind of similar to having themed Mastodon instances (and I also don't really understand those), but it seems like a potential issue?

I know multiple instances can have the same communities, but that then seems like fracturing the conversation?

Could this just be due to my limited knowledge/use of the fediverse?

Lot of it is because a bunch of it is written in Rust. Makes a huge difference in the performance, and the devs do a great job

Yeah, I haven't had too many major issues with Lemmy or Mastodon now that you mention it. Lemmy's install docs are... messy, but once running it's been without issue. Hats off to the devs for that.
