I think this feature will help keep communities alive if something goes wrong. I hope Lemmy implements this feature.

Is this a Lemmy specific issue? I've never noticed that you seem to be describing with kbin. But I don't really understand it. Do you have to subscribe to see posts on Lemmy? Cause on kbin, you can see threads fine for communities and instances you've never subscribed to. And when you do subscribe, you can see older posts and comments.

I've discovered countless Lemmy communities to subscribe to in the first place from viewing kbin's equivalent of /all.

If I understand things correctly, communities from other instances aren't going to appear on the front page of kbin.social until a user first subscribes to them. It's good for getting exposure to active communities that you weren't aware of, but some of the more niche and low volume communities from other instances aren't going to start appearing until a user proactively goes looking for them.
