Hypothetically, if all lemmy users were on instances of a very small number (< 20), would this be better or worse for scaling? (lemmy.ml)

At the same time, don't smaller instances mean that they generally are making less copies of remote posts? Fewer users means that they'll only be subscribed / viewing a few posts.
