How do you "federate" a community, I like this idea and would like to help, but I don't know how! :-)
Search for the community's url in your instances' search.
Oh right, as simple as that? Nice one, thank you :-)
@neblem Really? So you don't need to actually do a follow like you would in the Microblogging apps to federate?
Interesting. Presumably it must do some kind of subscribe/follow in the background?

If you don't subscribe, it'll still appear in your instance's search results and "communities" page. But new comments and posts won't start syncing.
