Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don't have alternatives on other instances.

Let's discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

Is it visible from other instances in the All feed? I just tried on my SJW alt and the community couldn't be found

It should: https://sh.itjust.works/c/jellyfin@poweruser.forum

It is now, but what I mean is that if we expect people to see it from All, we need to sub to it from accounts on the biggest instances.

That's what I did for !imaginary@reddthat.com a few days ago.

That's what Lemmy Federate (formerly known as Lemmy Community Boost) does.

FYI: I am currently crafting a.post on discoverablity.

Nice, I've had mixed experiences with that tool in the past, I'll comment on your post

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, I am.noy 100% sure if it is still working but if you have anything to promote it's worth a go.

[–] rglullis@communick.news 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it would take one person on the bigger instances to do it. We can promote them in !newcommunities@lemmy.world and things should get bootstrapped.
