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?

Pretty sure that as of right now, there's no way to aggregate together different communities on different instances. Hopefully, the mods of the different communities can coordinate and direct traffic to each other or pick a "main" eventually.

Another option would be to add a "multi-reddit" type feature on the user-end to at least put it all in one feed.

Edit: P.S. You should also check out the communities on startrek.website.

Just use the one that's the largest. The same thing happens on all community based forums. Even on reddit you'd have r/athing, r/a_thing and sometimes r/at. Eventually people will keep gravitating towards the biggest one.
