Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

Local communities are totally irrelevant when deciding which instance should host your account.

I thought the point was to join communities. Am I wrong?

You can join any community on any instance from any other instance, as long as the admin hasn’t blocked it.

So I don't get the problem then.

… exactly?

Someone pointed out an advantage of smaller instances and you were the one that said small instances have a problem (lack of communities), and I’m the one pointing out that your supposed problem does not, in fact, exist.

TL;DR small instance good
