I agree with what you're saying. I've been contemplating back and forth about whether I should create a board game instant where you gather various board game discussions in the same instant.

If I want to post here: https://lemmy.world/post/108806?scrollToComments=true with my lemmi.ml login, how do I do that?
(Also how do I log in to lemmy.ml on ios, safari just gives me endless loading upon clicking the login button)

There is already a couple like this. lemmy.dbzer0.com for example is a piracy themed instance, and all communities hosted on it are piracy-related.

I think more regional / city instances would be great. Seems like a natural way to consolidate activity around local content, meetups, activism, etc etc while also staying totally connected to everything else
Only if we get the ability to block instances as users.
There are quite a lot of posts on my Hot page in languages I don't speak. It'd be nice to be able to block instances that mostly communicate in languages I don't speak anyways.
You can select which languages you want to see in your Lemmy settings. Of course, this currently require people to tag their post with the correct language.
Which is not happening right now. I ha r three languages selected, I still get tons of other languages in my feed.
I think it's because most people don't select a language. Hopefully one day Lemmy will automatically detect the language, or let us select a default one :)
I feel like is not necessary because you can subscribe and communicate to subLems from basically anywhere. We're right now 2 users from 2 different instances talking at a subLem originate at a 3rd instance, but does it even matter? As long as everything's federated it (basically) doesn't matter where you're account is from, and what subLems are originate from your instance. That's the whole beauty of the fediverse.
PS, I do glad that lemmygard implemented your idea, so because my instance defederate them I don't have to see those guys ever again (they're the reason I ditched my lemmy.ml account long ago).
There are some good reasons to do it. You can basically recreate the classic forum experience. Say you want to make an all purposes Blades in the Dark community. You could just make /c/bladesinthedark in your favourite instance, but you could also make mybladesinthedark.org/c/generaldiscussion, /c/characterart, /c/gamestories, /c/playbypost, even /c/offtopic, and restrict the creation of new communities to mods, or to admins with an @mybladesinthedark.org account, or something like that. Maybe mybladesinthedark.org is owned by the company that publishes bitd, allowing them to create a series of "official" communities linked under the lemmy network but still locally managed.
IMO this is a pretty powerful tool, and while I don't think it should be the standard, it definitely does ad d cool value that competitors lack.
