Try to visit other instances and search their interesting communities on your own instance so there is a better federation among all instances.

Subscribing to as many communities as you can would help grow your instance much better.

    I’m not 100% sure but I think as of now kbin users can view lemmy instances, but lemmy users can’t see kbin posts.

    Unfortunate but hopefully they implement the feature soon.

    As for search, yeah if a community is being fetched for the first time in any instance, it takes a few seconds to fetch all the info. Subsequent times search will show it instant as its already stored in local dB.

      I’m surprised that no one made a bot that auto federate the instances, that would fix the search being wonky. But I guess we are in the early days.
