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)

    I think it’s only if your instance is configured with an “Allowed Instances” list, so yeah, you need to manually add them.
    If not, then any user can search for a community on any other instance from your instance as long as is not in the blocked list.

      I see! I just need to keep my Allowed list empty :) Don’t really understand the different visibility of comments yet. I can see your comments from my lemmy.one account. but they don’t show up on my own instance. Bit hard to keep track of posts and comments, if I need a second account on a different instance to see replies ?

        Your instance will only get NEW comments after the moment the first person on your instance subscribes to this community. You’ll only get older comments if someone replies or votes on them

          yes, so if someone from a different instance replies to my message, it never shows up on my instance… I only know of these comments because I have an account on lemmy.one (created that before I started by own instance) ??
