Lil' reminder about browsing by All (lemmy.world)

Folks that have been here awhile probably already know this, but may have forgotten and new folks may not know it, so a reminder that we build the All feed together:

These previous ways will only show communities that are already known to the instance. Especially if you joined a small or inactive Lemmy instance, there will be few communities to discover.

With that in mind, for intrepid explorers here, I'd highly recommend looking for communities via Lemmyverse and joining them from here to make the All feed more varied than just Lemmy.World's communities.

I post this as I was browsing through All the other day and noticed it looked like I may as well have remained browsing Local for how few remote communities I was seeing. And that's not for a lack of interesting communities on other instances either!

Although...

...That's not to say it might not also be due to a lack of activity in them, but that can be helped by looking for communities first before making them locally, I think!

There are delays in how posts/comments/edits/deletes federate to other instances, which appears to be how the others were able to see it.

If you view this thread from Brad Ganley's instance (click the little pentagram icon), your comment's contents are still visible...At least as of the time I'm writing this. By a little later, federation may have kicked in & synchronized the changes.
