I feel like having many communities works well on large platforms, but on smaller ones it fragments the already limited content, which in turn makes most communities inactive and reduces engagement.

Its really astounding how many completely empty communities there are. Communities that have always been empty. As soon as an instance opens up some people just start shotgunning tons of communities at once with no intention of actually using them. I do wish more instances would delete them somehow so they dont make parts of the fediverse look like ghostlands.
