Every time I see the rainbow fediverse icon on a post or a comment, I cannot help but smile.

This is the internet. By the people, for the people. Thank you all for participating.

I have a few ideas for niche communities, debating if I should host an instance or just the communities.

You too, friend. Can you not create communities on other instances? I hadn't tried or thought about it. I guess that's a downside of a really small or self hosted instance

I hadn't thought of it either. Looks like we are able to create communities only on the home instance.

Yep. But a community's mods need not be on the home instance, so you can moderate from anywhere.

You could, for example, create an account just for creating communites on a particular instance, but then give your other account a moderation role and moderate all from a central account.
