Same... why would I use a smaller instance when the bigger one has more stuff on it? Maybe I just don't understand this instance thing properly, it all just feels so fragmented
It's mainly a thing of controlling your own stuff if you're speaking of self hosted servers. If you mean just smaller instances in general, it's normally because you prefer their management/moderation. You can still view all of the stuff from the other instances just fine even if you're on a single user instance.
