You can have an account on one instance and subscribe to a community on another. There's no need for every instance to have a "memes" community, though there will undoubtedly be more than one. Then you can subscribe to the one(s) you like best. Not unlike how Reddit tends to have multiple subreddits for popular things with different mods, norms, and feels.

Basically what the GP is saying is that it's not possible (economically) in the Fediverse to create a community as large as, say, /r/funny. Basically the federation is happening at the wrong level for that, since the whole community needs to be on a single server.
