Otherwise, if we have a lot of medium sized instances but the most popular communities are hosted on just a few huge instances, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of distributing load across many instances?
If that’s the case, how do we solve the cumbersome user experience of having to subscribe to the same community over and over again across a ton of medium instances?
I wonder how feasible it would be to set your instance up to aggregate content from duplicate communities.
We need something like “Multi-subreddits”, where you can combine communities into the same entity. Only issue is that a lot of the same posts are posted a cross all the same communities.
