I disagree. post karma only matters if you're limited to viewing in the feed only. if the community doesnt care about posts showing the the federated feed then post karma is a meaningless metric.
a worrisome issue is that brigading smaller communities effectively mutes them (from a federated standpoint)... however, there are innumerable ways to search for communities. you do have to take the initiative.
Could you possible expound on these innumerable ways? I am new to Lemmy, and have been trying to subscribe to some federated communities, but can't seem to find them without clicking on something that takes me away from my home server. I know we're federated with them, because I am subscribed to other groups on that same server. But the Search function doesn't seem to work at all, and entering the address manually (as best I understand it) returns a nonexistent group error.
Could you help me out?
