My current instance has a bunch of sports communities, and typically the first thing i like to look at when i was on reddit were the sports subs. I was previously on beehaw but they kind of shut themselves off from some of other big communities so i migrated off
I just took a look at your instance and love the number of communities over there. I’m on shitjustworks and it’s good, but I definitely subscribed to a few on your instance. What was odd, though, is I couldn’t seem to find them with a simple search…? I had to do an “all” search and use the web address to find them. Probably user error on my part, but I seem to be subscribed now.
I think it's because it's a newer instance so it just hasn't been spread around too much yet. In your case it's because you were the first to federate from your instance to whichever communities you were looking to sign up to.
Ahhh, that makes sense. Thanks.
