Communities in Lemmy/Mbin are not federated by default. So when you create a new community, it will only be available to your instance. At least 1 person from all other instances must follow it in order to make it available. This tool does that. It follows your community from all remote instances until at least 1 other person follows it.

You should pin this message, or maybe start a FAQ thread including this.

I think I'll make a guide post at some point, this will be part of it.

Added to the sidebar just now.

This is also great for a new small instance, even if you don't run communities, just populating your local all feed, so I don't have to subscribe to everything... I can have a real home feed again

I heard about that tool a while back, but didn't know it was this easy to use. Thanks for sharing!

This is so useful, thank you for sharing!

Turns out [email protected] isn't federated with many instances.

We also weren't federated with lemmy.autism.place, so much potential users ;)

edit: noooooo 😭

Some other thread had me trying to remember this the other day, so cheers on posting it. Might be worth adding to a pinned thread/sidebar as a resource (alongside various newcommunities and promo communities).

Good point, I'll add it to the sidebar later

Futurology.today and slrpnk.net are missing

Someone has to ask the admins to enable those, I remember there was some concern with resource consumption some time back.
