Some of it is also federating content in, you don't need an admin to do so for you. If you have a link to a different instances community, just pasting it into the search bar of your local instance will federate the community into your instance for you. Go to lemmyverse.net and find a community and its link then past it into the search of your local lemmy instance
I did that, that's what I mean where it wouldn't work. I've done it for tons of communities from world where they didn't have it but it didn't work on this small instance.
Really? You sometimes have to click the search button a few times.
I tried 3 different ways and three different times for the search way thinking it was me. It has me confused too, my guess is that the admin didn't want world clogging up their all page so they bounced it or something.
Lemmy.world sometimes has federation issues and wont federate communities into the instance if its down. They've been experiencing a lot of downtime lately.
