      Right? I’m still trying to figure it all out but I don’t get what the benefit would be to having a username on a big instance. Seems like bragging rights would go to people who have their own instance.

      But also the op didn’t say it was a win… they just stated the fact. So there’s that.

        the only benefit i see is having more communties already federated without the need to manually federate it yourself

          That is actually a bigger benefit than just some mild UI inconvenience. It saves resources on both your instance (well, there just per user resources) and the instance where the community is hosted.
