Really useful. Thanks!
I’m a bit confused by what that tool says though:
By default, communities on Lemmy/Mbin are not federated due to the inherent limitations of ActivityPub.
When you create a new community, it will only be available to your instance. To make it accessible to other instances, at least one user from each remote instance must follow it.
This tool automates this process by following your community from all remote instances until it gains at least one real-user follower.
And yet when I go to any instance’s webpage and look for any community - even a brand new one - I find it. So is the tool referring to something else?
Ah right gotcha. So like if someone is on an instance where nobody follows a foreign community and browses All, they won’t see a new post from that community.
Makes sense.
Thanks!
