Definitely it’s bad when there are many alternatives with many instances. Community will become fragmented
I am not saying that. Communities are not an issue. Issues are instances that have the same communities that are not connected.
E.g. if there is an F1 community on lemmy.world and a different one on lemm.ee, it’s an issue
Yep, I get that. It definitely brings advantages. Just the content should be shared imho
You're probably wanting something like Reddit's "multireddit" functionality. I know of this issue for Lemmy, with some links to related issues in the comments. Kbin has one here. That would allow multiple communities to look like a single one from the user's perspective.
No many alternatives does not fragment the community.
Unfortunately it does. Imagine that some time ago, everyone was on reddit. Now the people who leave reddit split between many lemmy instances and kbin. In addition, some will stay on reddit.
