this is not that simple. If a user joins an instance that has only a few users they will get disappointed because it will look empty and non-active. They need to understand that they can still join communities from another instances where they can find more users and activity and they can still interact with them
I still don't understand how to do this part
It's been turned off temporarily here on kbin.social to help keep the servers running, should be back soon though
it already works, partially. You can go to search and try pasting "[email protected]" . You need only the community name, if you paste the whole URL it is not working. Then, if you click on the community name's, you are transferred to https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] which is essentially the content from that community, but "inside" your current instance. The problem now is that this content is stuck in 2 days ago, when the issue with cloudflare started. When fixed, content will start being updated

Is that content being updated, though? Or was that community simply imported before syncing was off, and is now stale?
This is why some knowledge about how things work is important. Accessing https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] does not access the remote community. It accesses a local mirror of the remote community, which is updated when the remote group forwards content along.
If k-soc isn't accepting those content updates, it's not actually engaging with remote users and new content, and it's not se ding along local content addressed to the remote group.
It's interacting with a ghost.
did you read my comment till the end?
I think the question is when cloudflare is no longer needed, will interaction with the content be "live" vs only when instances send/receive data. It's a reasonable question, no need to be impatient. A lot of people are learning right now.
