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?

Users who are looking for larger communities can just dogpile whatever is popular and users who aren't will find something that fits them better just as they always have. I think some people do struggle with not having the massive fire hose they are used to though but everything starts somewhere; it never was going to be everything to everyone all at once. I'm personally finding not being lost in a sea of noise to be more engaging.
