I’m seeing a lot less communities on this instance when I look at “All”. Are we blocked from several instances, limiting what we can see?

    Ah, I understand now. At least 1 person on this instance has to be subscribed to the community on another instance for it to federate and show up here. All the communities that show up in “All” on this instance are ones that have been subscribed to by at least 1 user on this instance. It is one of the downsides of federation on a small instance, you don’t have a very good “All” to see popular content form communities you aren’t subscribed to.

    There are some tools out there that will force federation with all communities, but the problem with that is it blows up storage requirements.
