Its like reddit. I say nope there’s no monetary worth to put on creating a community. Secondly, it is not worth it from a personal perspective because I had just started one on .world when I got banned for some misunderstood comment. No matter how good you are on your own in your heart, you’re only worth that one last comment when the admin feels like banning someone that moment. If you own your instance then yeah sure that makes sense. Doing it on others’ instance it will eventually end in a painful breakup. So I wouldn’t. But I would visit if you did do it. I would suggest finding a rando co-founder in case you do get banned accidentally. That way at least your users won’t get a shock when you’re gone and you can’t respond. Ultimately it depends on you giving away your effort to give someone else’s website content for free without an expectation of co-owning anything. Like planting a tree on your neighbors house and watering until its giving fruit just so one day the neighbor kicks you out.
