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?

sorry for hijacking but i've always wondered: if the original instance goes away, does that mean search engines like google would have to reindex the content under a different url so it shows in the rankings again?

I believe the content would just vanish.
