Just wondering if it would be possible to enable the instance on LemmyFederate since then we could more easily distribute communities from here to elsewhere since as it is it’s kind of hard to grow communities or even just have them be discoverable on other instances.
Uh for those who don’t know LemmyFederate is a service that allows communities to be distributed to other instances via a bot that subscribes to them, then unsubscribes once a real user joins. It’s helpful because communities don’t become visible on remote servers until someone from that server searches and subscribes to it. Due to a limitation of how the Activitypub system works.
That’s a good point, would recommend if doing it to keep the auto-add option off since that can help reduce the burden somewhat. If it’s automatically fetching and adding instances that can make the issue that much worse.
