Do they have any rule that says you need a minimum number of users on a site to fall under the law?
If servers of someinstance.co.au fine if they move to hosting in Finland?
It just feels like a nightmare.

So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.
Well Aussie.zone seems to have self-assessed they are, and want you to prove you are over 16 by taking a picture while you are driving, or ordering a beer at the pub. https://aussie.zone/post/27246692
