This.
I have two separate identities on 2 instances. One has only 40 members, on which I am a moderator, which is a subset of a forum's community and both being funded with donation and a yearly fee to be allowed to post ads in the local marketplace. The other one is much larger but runs on a single Hetzner VPS and is also funded with donation. Admin recently switched registration to manual approval, probably to control and limit the amount of accounts.
If I ever have to run my own fediverse/activity pub server/community, I would definitely put a limit on the active accounts I would serve and have an housekeeping rule to clean up inactive profiles.
