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.

I don't understand the push back. Decentralization is Lemmy's one trick. It is the entire thing that sets it apart.

The ideal would be a network of single user instances.

Multi users instances being an allowance for helping the technically challenged, but should be considered equivalent to toothbrush sharing.

All single user instance should have every /c/community. In fact, community is overselling it. They are really hashtags plus a sidebar.
