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?

    Yea … that’s why I ask a new community that seems like a duplicate what they’re going to do differently. I think being open and explicit about differences, even if slight, is pretty important.

      Eh, I don’t think that’s all that helpful. Mods change hands, and original goals change as well. Yeah, transparency is good, but redundancy is better.
