Lemmy is federated, but still, the instances with the most activity dominate people's feeds (self.lemmyworld)

Instances with funding sources will have the best hardware capable of supporting the largest communities, and will have the most activity, but then aren't people's feeds still influenced by capital, like with reddit, in the end?

There's a suggestion (and probably an open issue on Github as well) that the Hot and Active post rankings should take into account the size of a community that a post comes from. A post from a community with 20 subscribers and 50 upvotes is proportionally more "hot" than a post from a community with 5000 subscribers and 200 upvotes.
