    At the same time, don’t smaller instances mean that they generally are making less copies of remote posts? Fewer users means that they’ll only be subscribed / viewing a few posts.

      Still, all posts of any subscribed-to community (and any of their votes, which is the biggest issue atm) need to be pushed to yet another instance. IIRC this is how a feed works.
