    it’s counterintuitive to the whole point of Lemmy lol

    Actually no, it is not. Having multiple smaller communities works to the benefit of users in the Fediverse. One server might be down, and people in those communities can find another community on a different instance to continue discussion until the community of their instance choice comes back up.

      By that logic it makes more sense to have one community mirrored over multiple instances. If one instance goes down the others just take over. No hassle for the users.

        But the point is to have different people in charge in case anyone gets full of themselves. See: reddit
