If I understand Lemmy correctly, you can create duplicate communities on different instances. Isn't this kinda counter productive because this may lead to less user interaction in those communities, because the user base gets split up between competing communities.

Is there a way to fight this division of the (small) userbase or is this effect even desired because it leads to more tight knit communities on the different instances?

I think this is desired. Lemme give my case. I think r/historymemes is absolutely flooded with racism, tankies and neo-nazis, and perhaps more than the rest, colonial apologia. Reddit being centralised, I can't create another r/historymemes.

Say we have a c/historymemes in some instance. The same racism and shit happens. No problem, I can look for a new c/historymemes on some other instance that is better moderated in regards to those problems.

Lemme give my case.

I see what you did there.
