I am trying to do lemmy-federate but that requires a guarantee fediseer, so it might take a while... We already have over 100 subscribers from many different instances, so I don't think bot account will be necessary.
I just guaranteed you on fediseer, so you should be good now.
It's not just getting your communities seen.
Content from other instances for you and your users won't show up in the all feed unless someone on your instance (or a bot) subs to the relevant communities.
Only off-instance communities with at least one local subscriber will federate.
You also wont immediately see new instances and their communities, and they won't see you.
I always tend to push back on people saying "oh, the Fediverse is so complicated", but small quirks like this make me go "well okay they have a small point".
I understand why lemmy-federate.com probably has to remain an opt-in service, but man would it be so much smoother if it was just automatic.
I'm pushing for major Piefed instances to be able to network together, so when one instance adds or federates a new community - it will automatically network to other piefed instances.
That admin instance function would of course, have to remain optional though - as small personal instances would find that welcome - but it would automate a lot of this.
