MODERATORS
 

I’m a moderator of a smaller community. I’m posting quality content multiple times a day, and I posted about it in New Communities. The number of subscribers is low but it’s growing steadily.

Could you please give me some advice on growing this community? I don’t want to spam/flood or come off as rude or weird, but I really believe in it and think it would be useful to many people.

Excuse me but may I ask why posts of my community don't show up on other instances? I made accounts on other instances to manually search it myself, it is discoverable on those instances. However new posts are not.

Edit: Nvm it starts showing up now

Do you have at least one sub from that instance (yourself?) if you do, posts should immediately appear in "all" on any connected instances.

There is a bug, where if you mod someone on an outside instance, and they edit anything about the community, it will break federation. I made this mistake with [email protected] and had to talk to the instance admin to have it resolved.

Oh right the instances that I subbed got new posts while the one I didn't sub is still empty. No modding involved tho.
