I joined about 10 minutes ago, it was a tough decision. Do I go with a small server as an experiment? Do I go with a large one? What about self-hosting? I settled on this one after reading the post from the admin about upgrading hardware. My hope is that it will stick around, but that's the beauty of the Fediverse. You can always join another instance if the community doesn't work out for you.
I decided to pick a smaller instance myself to be considerate, but I've noticed that not everything from other instances is coming through. Like right now I'm missing the post in here about Reddit forcing r/AdviceAnimals open. And every now and then I see a flood of new posts from other instances appear on my feed, but then if I refresh it's all gone again. I'm thinking of joining one or two of the larger instances too.
The flood when browsing all or if you have a ton of subscriptions is a feature that's going to be altered in the next version. It worked when submissions were coming in much slower. Now there is a ton of activity.
If you are trying to search for a community but it's not appearing try searching:
!CommunityName@InstanceName
This will tell the server to pull community and when you subscribe, that will make that community for everyone else on the server.
Oh, neat. I tried !de_EDV@feddit.de and nothing showed up at first, but then I tried just de_EDV again and now I see it and was able to join. Got some posts and now new comments are starting to come in. Looks like that worked!
