darkstar@lemmy.zip 3 years agoWow thank you for the speedy response! Okay that makes sense for banning accounts, then its a little easier to control. I can also deal with a few minutes of downtime lol, realistically I probably wont notice. I see if a community hastn been searched for yet on an instance then it wont automatically show up until it has been searched at least once? A little confusing but I’ll just wait and see if they start to populate :) Thanks!

Yeah, a community has to be searched for once before it “federates” with this server. Once you’ve subscribed to that community, both instances know about each other and all community members will see the posts appear in the “all” tab. That community will also show in your “Subscribed” tab if you dont want to see all communities.
I’ve seen it happen in real time a couple of times now, where suddenly loads of posts appear in the feed from a new community after someone has subscribed.

Pretty cool how it works actually. I’m keen to see how this all plays out with reddit going down, hopefully lemmy can successfully take reddits place
