Oh that’s a dope ass tool.
Comment on I created an instance for a specific community
Dave@lemmy.nz 2 days agoMight be talking about lemmy-federate.com?
You can add the community, and the other instances that have signed up will have their follower account subscribe to your new community. Communities are only federated to instances that have at least one subscriber to the community, so it won’t show in All on instances with no subscribers to your community. That website is a way to help get around that.

Yeah, this is what I am refering to. Wasn’t sure how to properly describe it. :)

I’m not sure if that has changed. I navigated to dull mens club with my account on the new instance. It automatically put dull mens club on my frontpage without me subscribing to it and a bunch of instances showed up as federated.

Only a single person on the instance needs to subscribe, then the instance with the community knows about it and will start pushing the content to that instance.
You’re on Lemmy.world, so it wouldn’t take long for someone to subscribe (if you’re the first person, just looking also pulls a handful of posts, but no further updates until someone subscribes).

Thanks, that makes sense.
