    Yep. Add in a 3rd instance and now you have 3 copies of the database, essentially. It’s just that each instance is responsible about telling the fediverse when updates occur to communities on their instance.

      If the fediverse gets really big, lets say the size of reddit, it may be hard for all the different instances to store all that data on their servers
