I get the idea of instances, like you can make your own and this is good for privacy. But some lemmy instances are much more popular and this in fact makes it another Reddit. If there are separate instances for niche topics, why not make it another community inside a larger instance?
We don’t control what thoughts and ideas pop up in our heads! The possibility to host your own instance is something that the Fediverse offers. It’s highly advertised. So it’s natural that such things come to mind. You can’t approve or reject them without thinking.
I didn’t mean to insult you or anything, I just like to understand people. And this does indeed clear things up for me, thanks :)

Sure, no worries, I didn’t feel any negativity from your side!
