Why can't magazines/communities aggregate content from other instances? (kbin.social)

When I look at https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek vs https://kbin.social/m/startrek I see two entirely different lists of posts. Why? It's the same topic, just on different instances. How can we have communities about topics without having them siloed into their own instance-based communities? Is this just related to that 0.18 issue with Lemmy/kbin not talking nicely, or is this how the Fediverse is?

Is it (at least theoretically) possible for me to post an article on https://kbin.social/m/startrek and have it automatically show up on https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek, or are they always going to be two separate communities?

How do I, a user with a kbin.social account, create a post there?

[–] garrettw87@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Just go to: https://kbin.social/m/startrek@startrek.website

And hit the + button at the top, followed by Add New Article, Add New Link, or whatever.

Ahh. So what would be helpful then, for smaller communities that started here not knowing there was one someplace else would be to add some kind of post that points to the specific community.

As we’re still learning as we go here

This is the main Star Trek community incase anyone wasn't sure.

Yeah, that's by far the largest one. I'm just using Star Trek as an example, though I'm actually thinking of other communities that are even smaller. Good link, though.
