    Hell if I know, last time I checked, discoverability across instances was… hit or miss at best…

      It will get better. Lemmy got more traffic in the last week than it did in the last year.

        Spez throwing third party reddit reader apps under the bus & communities democratically agreeing they’ll only host pictures of Jon Oliver and multi gigabyte videos of white noise was the best thing to happen to Lemmy xD

      What’s missing is the ability to filter communities by instance. Right now, it’s Local or All, and even then that list can’t be sorted in any other way than the default (users per month).

      To add communities from other instances you basically need to discover them somewhere else (either on that other instance in its Local list, or on lemmyverse.net) then search for them in your local instance, then you can subscribe.

        Add to that the fact that if I use the local browser from another instance, I’m no longer logged in, so I need to go to the other instance, find the community, and then manually redirect from ThatInstance/c/comunity to Myinstance/c/community@ThatInstance… It’s the downside of a federated network I guess…

          Yes exactly. That’s why we need sorting and filtering sorted out in the communities page, such that you can filter out just one instance.
