Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance. (sh.itjust.works)

I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

Why not? When the person created the sub it would have sent out a ping to all federated instances

No it wouldn't? Unless you mean that's what you think it should do?

Anyway, there are tools to do this manually if you make a new community and want it to appear it popular all feeds.

Yes, and it seems that the devs have this in mind on their to-do list.
