    So posts in communities only go to instances where there is a subscriber. If you make a new community, people on other instances won’t see it until someone on their instance searches it up and subscribes.

    For new communities, two things to do are to submit on https://lemmy-federate.com/ which will automatically federate it to instances that have signed up for it (I’ve just done this for you), and to post it in new community sharing communities so people know about it and can subscribe, e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

      Great write up. These are the steps that make adoption “difficult”. Not that it’s hard, per se, explained very well here in fact. But these are steps that aren’t necessary on more commonly used networks. Having to explain that “all” is not actually “all” always feels wonky.
