I’m hosting one right now. Lemmyunchained.net
But in will have to Limit Users at some point.
I dont Think people properly understand they can be on any server. And join multiple communities. And it all Show up in their Feed. They don’t Need to worry about “which community has the Most Users”
It doesn’t quite all show up the feed no matter what instance someone is on. In order for content to federate on an instance someone on that instance has to directly access it. I think this is why small niche instances appear to have a trickle of content on “all”.
There is a lemmy seed script you can use as an admin that gets you a "default sub" experience https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs
Sorry. Was a typo. Says can join* any community and it show up on the feed. They need to join first. Yeas.
One person on your instance needs to join for the community to appear. That is the major benefit of joining a large instance, you don't need to search other instances or use 3rd party tools to find new communities.
