I have had reservations about balancing scores across communities based on the number of users, as it may dilute the uniqueness and individual themes of each instance. However, upon further consideration, I have noticed that smaller instances are underrepresented on the main feed. This has prompted me to reconsider the approach and explore the possibility of balancing instances based on monthly active users instead of communities. By doing so, we can ensure a more diverse representation of instances and avoid a situation where only big instances dominate the feed. I am uncertain about the best approach, and I would appreciate hearing your opinions on this matter.
