User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn’t mean your account exists on lemmy.ca.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

Communities are fragmented and /c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml with its own users, set of posts, etc.

Lemmy does not currently allow for instance or user migration.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3057

Nor does it allow for shared communities (ie the aforementioned /c/games is unified across multiple instances)

We are in the early days. If you’re eager feel free to join in the development on these any many other core issues. There’s real potential here.

    What you’re describing as an “issue” is just the way the fediverse works.

    There’s no central authority that determines the ruling /c/gaming instance or whatever.

    If you tried to create one then anyone could just fork lemmy to disregard the central authority.

    Lemmy is not reddit, nor should it attempt to be.
