I don't really see it as an issue. Post it to whichever community you are most active on. If people want to part of that particular instance, they will see it and interact with it.
Just like I'm interacting with this post right now even though I'm not on lemmy.world. I'm quite over what became the gamification of karma on reddit, and really hope it doesn't become a thing here. There's no reason about having to worry about which instance to post something to, people will find it and interact with it.
Make no mistake if the fediverse keeps gaining traction there will still be gamification so long as there are points associated with posts. Even more so since profiles are generally less anonymous than reddit.
How so?
My profile tells you I use an instance (in this case my own, dusty-radio) and my username on that instance (in this case Dusty). All this tells you is the name I've chosen and that I host this myself. It's no different than if I was Dusty on reddit, other than the instance URL.
Supposedly your entire up-vote / down-vote history is publically available through some API calls. I haven't verified it myself, but the what I have seen makes it look plausible.
