I created an instance for a specific community (lemmy.world)

I created [email protected] a few months ago and then started seeing contraversies around moderation policies and federation that just don't apply to the type of content on dull mens club so I decided to make an instance solely to host that community.

[email protected]

I'm not sure if this has happened yet, but I like the idea of having a neutral instance that users can still visit regardless of what happens. There's no user signups, only admin/moderator accounts. Users have to use an account from a federated instance.

I'm not sure if that has changed. I navigated to dull mens club with my account on the new instance. It automatically put dull mens club on my frontpage without me subscribing to it and a bunch of instances showed up as federated.

Only a single person on the instance needs to subscribe, then the instance with the community knows about it and will start pushing the content to that instance.

You're on Lemmy.world, so it wouldn't take long for someone to subscribe (if you're the first person, just looking also pulls a handful of posts, but no further updates until someone subscribes).

Thanks, that makes sense.
