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.

+1 The provider you choose has complete control of your account. You only have access when their server is up. They control updates.

If they don’t have good backups you could lose everything. It may be unpopular but I think most would be wise to pick one of the already established major instances.
