If the ideal setup is many medium sized instances rather than a few huge ones, wouldn't that mean users would need to subscribe to duplicate communities in all of those instances? (self.lemmy)

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?

A multi-community feature like multi-reddit wouldn't be that hard to implement. Basically build a subscribe list that isn't owned by a specific user and come up with a way to link them by name and ID. Being able to share community subscribe and block lists would seem a useful evolution of Lemmy.
