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.

This will sort itself out as people get used to and understand the fediverse better. I think not having a good cross instance search for communities is part of the contributing factor to this confusion. At least it was for me.

this is what I've been using to find communities lately; don't know if there's better, but it fits my use case https://lemmyverse.net/communities

I have had better luck with this one. Why does this work in a way that makes the users jump through hoops to discover what is out there?
