For me personally it’s the FOMO, what if the technology board on that instance is that much better than the one. Do I have to sub to 20 of the same boards? Kinda annoying tbh
one UX improvement is also in replies. I comment from Mastodon, and because I’m replying to you my post will be federated to feddit.uk but not to your parent comment on feddit.de or the OP on lemmy.ml :|
Do you mean the parent and OP won’t be notified of your comment? If they come back to the post it will all be visible to them, right? I personally think that’s best, but I was a forum user (phpBB, vBulletin) and rarely got notifications.
On Mastodon it tries to @ everyone so I presume that causes everyone to be notified. You can @ people on Lemmy too I think.
It would actually be better to share / block comunities across instances instead of duping them and creating this schizophrenia.
The problem is instances were supposed to be specific enough that there wasn’t so much duplication. A gardening instance, a technology instance (even these are broad), a Red Dwarf instance. Not general purpose instances with high duplication. It needed forward planning and instances started from the beginning, even if all run by the same people.

Yes. And then you get 20 versions of the same post hiding the one unique post that you didn’t want to miss out on.
