A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

For me, 10/10 just as good. It only needs more content.
I think it's important to make sure your instance is federated with all the other big ones, though, since adding a new one is not user-friendly.
How do I go about getting as many communities federated as possible without having to personally subscribe to all of them? Mastodon/Pleroma had relay servers if I recall.
I see some on my communities list with no local subscribers, so I think you only have to connect the instance, not every community within it.
I'm new, though, and know nothing about relay servers.
My understanding is as long as any user from your instance subscribed to any community from anothet instance, then it will become federated with yours
That was my understanding too.
From what it looks like to me in testing, in any given instance All is any other instance that communicates with said instance, Local is all communities within an instance, and Subscribed is just the communities within the instance you have explicitly subscribed to.
