I mean I wouldn't mind a multi-reddit sorta feature like you describe, but I actually like that there are silo'd instances, I don't always want to see EVERY post about a subject on the fediverse if my own community has higher quality content of that subject. Also, not every instance needs to be a generalized place with every topic, I like that many of them cater to certain themes.
I would like the option to see everything of a certain subject at once, don't get me wrong, but I see the small silo'd instances as a feature, not necessarily a bug.
I guess as I've been using Lemmy more, I see that this is actually a fairly large issue. When I post to, say, a Videos community, I crosspost the link to every other Videos community I can find on the lemmyverse. But that's clunky, and if anyone is subscribed to all of those communities for redundancy, it shows up in their feed multiple times, which is likely a little annoying.
It does seem like the community recognizes this is a problem, and there are open issues for it on the github page. I have to assume that at some point the devs will address this issue, it seems odd that they would purposefully choose to ignore it.
