About three weeks ago, I started my own Lemmy instance. It's been running great, but theres something that keeps pulling me back to my account on one of the large instances.

I like to spend my time on Lemmy scrolling "All", which I think is a pretty common thing. However, on my instance where I am the only user, the only communities that show in "All" are the ones I've manually searched for and subscribed. Yes, I could go through all the popular communities on the large instances and manually subscribe to all of them, but that would be tedious. Also, If a new community got popular, I would never know it existed unless I checked a larger instance that already has it federated. Has anyone had a similar experience? I wish that when you subscribed to a community, all communities on its host instance would federate.
