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? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Yeah that'll be another problem we'll have to figure out. Maybe if there are two meme servers, we could bridge the communities somehow so they're just one feed for the end user.
