seems not scaleable. I thought you could subscribe at one instance, then browse communities from all instances and read and comment no matter if your instance has it in their Allowed list or not ? (apart from the ones in Blocked)

    A user subscribes to a community, not the instance. I’ve emptied the Allowed list and now the All communities list is growing as users search for community-urls on other servers.

    On browse.feddit.de you can find a list of all communities together, don’t know hoe they do that

      Yes, you are correct. I was however talking about how to make it convenient for new users unfamiliar to the Lemmy system to find communities to subscribe to. The point was to get the built-in search to show as much communities as possible.

      The current system is not convenient or clear for the average person at all. Not complaining or anything, but that’s just a fact. I got started two days ago, and the number of “how to find communities” posts in that time is quite high. Took me the first day too.

        agree, there is quite a learning curve. I still don’t get why I can’t see comments to my post on a different server. But when I log in on another server thats also reading from that community I see the comments there
