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.

Also, this might just be personal experience, but so far I'm finding it far easier to browse a single community on no matter what general instance rather than going through a separate topic-focused instance.

The idea is that you browse your feed of subscriptions, not that you literally go to an instance and browse their local feed.
