    So signup for a smaller instance

    Unless you want to create a community on that instance. You can only create communities in the instance you sign up.

      …so create your community on that instance. Others will still be able to access it just like you’re accessing communities elsewhere.

      Some instances disallow community creation. That’s the only part where this argument has any merit. Otherwise which instance a community is on doesn’t really matter.

        Technically it doesn’t matter, but I expect communities will take off better in instances better suited to it. I doubt a gaming community on lemmy.ca will become the massive gaming community. I doubt c/Toronto will take off in a UK instance. Etc.
