They come and go. They’re random clutter. We only need a few big instances that hosts a majority of the communities and that’s it. Why do we need so many smaller ones?

Because people want to have their own instance so they have full control over their data and the availability of the instance.
If selfhosting Lemmy wouldn’t be such an annoying and absurdly and unnecessary complex task causing an ungodly amount of traffic and would not need dozens of gigabytes of data storage I’d totally host my own instance just for me so I can defederate whatever instance I want and have full control over everything.
