[PSA] Communities will only show in 'All' of you instance if someone in that instance has searched and subscribed to it. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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 think when you initially search, it'll only be searching "Communities" (look towards the upper left, under the word "Search", at the drop-down tab menu). Change that to "all" and it should repopulate below. Click on the link which has the "...NameOfCommunity... - ## subscribers" formatting, and it should take you to the screen where you can subscribe to the community to the upper right.

I would think searching with the "Communities" in the tab would work, but I'm guessing that means communities which are only in the community or instance that you are currently in. I hope that makes sense.

It makes sense. Thanks. And I've been able to find almost everything I'm looking for but I still find some issues while searching for newer communities.

For example, I'm looking to subscribe to the blackmetal community from lemmy.ml, I cannot find it under the FMHY instance, but I could find it with my account at the lemmy.ml instance.

Probably I'm doing something wrong, or maybe the servers are saturated.
