Comment on Discoverability of communities across instances

As more people use lemmy-federate.com more niche communities will show up in all instances by default
Imo its the ideal solution since it populates the posts in the all feed for people who don’t know about the site to still see

Yeah, disabled accounts means the instance doesn’t have a bot from the site on their instance so the site can’t federate them. Usually this would be not accepting the user application
Lemmy.world isnt in the site but most other large instances are

It’s not even 50 instances on there though, and almost half of them seem to be disabled. Not just .world, also .ml, slrpnk, feddit.de - that is a huge chunk of the lemmyverse. I don’t know if that is the solution, certainly not as it is now.

Even with the disabled instances, communities that get added onto there reach a much larger section of people than external community browsers do as casual users that just check the site once a day or something and don’t pay attention to external sites can still stumble on them without knowing the federate site exists
Ideally more instances would get added onto there but its still fine like this. Been getting some nice interactions and starting activity on new programming.dev communities
