Is it detrimental to the Fediverse network to self host, for only oneself, a Federated service?

  • Now, if, instead, you have everyone self hosting their own server, you go right back to having everyone sending a ton of requests to small servers, thereby overwhelming them

    It seems like this is based on the assumption that each instance hosts the entirety of lemmy, but that is not the case, they only host the communities their users are interested in.

    Is this a hypothetical issue or is there evidence of a scalability bottleneck?
