Imo. This is the opposite of having a too big of a community. I think this is just a disadvantage of federation that we will eventually have to live with. The opposite is a bigger problem in my opinion, where one entity controls too much of the power.
What we really need is a better system, be it an app or chrome extension where it makes it easier for us to manage these instances version of their communities.
I don't know what that looks like but the answer isn't difficult to come up with because for the most part, all the lemmies will function the same as each other.
This is actually a very compelling OSS project to make. A Lemmy manager like rss readers of past.
Reddit apps already did this - where you could create a "multireddit" which was an amalgamation of various subreddits.
Ironally it looks like Lemmy actually has some sort of RSS functionality you can tap into to make that happen.
Like in the very early internet where your daily blog roll is opening the rss viewer. Everywhere on the web that updated that you subscribed to, and there are viewers that can filter and collate iirc. so your daily update is local, and you only go to the ones you are actually interested in.
Firefox rss support was removed in 2018, and lmao i only knew because i was trying to set up the rss feed from lemmy last night.
I think the real solution is to have something similar to an rss feed that can aggregate several different instances of the "same" sub. Like maybe a central server, but it only has the info to gather data from all other servers or something
