Oh my god I never considered doing this, I’ve been very tediously syncing them using git

I’m pretty new to this federation idea, but if I’m on a small instance of Lemmy and browsing c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world, would I still see degraded performance?

Are the instances mirroring the content of the communities hosted in another instance?

(Edit: thanks everyone, your responses are really helpful!)
