Feel like you have something to post, but it's not really relevant to any of the current communities, and you don't feel like it's worth making an entirely new community just to post it? This is the place for that.

How does introducing federated communities work again? (sh.itjust.works)

Sorry, newb fediverse question:

For example, I can browse here through sh.itjust.works/c/general@burgitt.moe just fine. But I can't seem to browse, say, animemes@burgitt.moe. I think I read that a user on one instance has to attempt to browse a community in a federated instance, before it will appear on the first instance? But animemes 404s, while the federation clearly works because I can see general. Does it just take some time?

I'm just trying to get an account which is on a well-federated instance. I want access to posting free-speech instances like burggit, but I also want access to post on mainstream instances like lemmy.world which defed burggit. I actually started on lemmy.world but switched to sh.itjust.works after looking at which their defeds were (literally just burggit lol).

For that matter, if I want to find burggit communities that are new to me, am I mostly stuck browsing the burggit front page, which means I'm logged out of my sh.itjust.works account?

What I really want is a good way to browse an instance's local front page, theme and all, while being logged in on another instance and still able to vote and post. I guess that's going to come in the form of some app/browser extension we don't have yet though.

I'm not sure if I got it right, or someone else did, but I did notice it is now visible. Thanks!

Thankfully, on a larger instance like sh.itjust.works, all it takes is one other person doing it first to make it easy for everyone else.
