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.
