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?

Obviously. But that's not an issue, just find one community you like, ignore the others.

Just read all the other comments in this post asking for a technical way to merge similar communities. I’m just asking for the same thing.
