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?

Does that mean that a community on instance A acts like it were native to instance B?

They'll see each other in "all," but not "local."
