Well, not if the communities are distributed across several large instances, no?
Small istances don't have the resources to host large communities
Good point, when it comes to large communities it does make sense
images are the real issue. text is extremely small and most instances should be able to handle even the largest text and link based communities.
in fact they can't participate on lemmy if they couldn't because the text of a post (and all the comments) gets copied to all instances subscribed to a community
and of course moderation can be a concern as well, but if you're not ready to moderate you shouldn't host anything other than a single user instance anyway.
