Once you find an instance you like (good ping, good performance, good admin) all the content across all the instances is there, barring any defederation. Which communities are local to the instance is not normally a selection criteria.
That’s not true from a technical point of view. A remote subscriber is way more expensive than a local one, so on the technical side it’s better when everyone signs up on the server where most of their communities are.
That may be true, but most of the communities I’m subscribed to are remote. I’ve not experienced any issue at all. In fact I’m getting your reply pretty much instantaneously and I’m lemm.ee in the USA and you’re on feddit.de in Germany.

Not everyone is a writer.

That’s not what the form’s instructions say. I can’t read the mind of the admins to know how little I can get away with.
Perhaps don’t advertise that you’re willing to do no more than the absolute bare minimum to try to hoodwink the admins.
I didn’t, that’s why it took an hour to write the application form. Which is totally unacceptable for the general population.
