Try to visit other instances and search their interesting communities on your own instance so there is a better federation among all instances.

Subscribing to as many communities as you can would help grow your instance much better.

    I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly, but when I search for other community on other instances, it doesn’t show up in the results. I tried the complete URL, the “!”, the “!” plus @instance, the name alone. Is there something special to do? Is any user can look for community?

      Anyone can lookup, but if it’s a community that’s being fetched for the first time, it might take a few seconds. Try to refresh and it should be visible after that.

        That’s my understanding, but I’m trying since yesterday and still no results. From Jerboa I succeeded in finding one community, but since then, it looks like I cannot even though I’m on browser right now. edit: is it possible API are overwhelmed by the number of recent requests?
