Does the instance itself hold a record or database of content posted, too? Like, could a personal instance be used to archive your own posts and comments, even if made on another instance through your personal one’s account? That right there would be motivation to play with it for me. Well, that and the “because I can” thing.
As long as a user on your instance is subscribed to all the communities you comment on they should federate as far as I understand. Ask someone more knowledgeable before spinning one up though.
You don’t need to worry about being defederated unless the instance is whitelist only (or you’re an ass).
