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 need more than one account. You just decide which instance you want an account on, then subscribe to all the topics you care about across multiple instances. I just think that generalist instances with thousands of local topics are unnecessary.
