Try to visit other instances and search their interesting communities on your own instance so there is a better federation among all instances.

Subscribing to as many communities as you can would help grow your instance much better.

    How can we view NSFW communities from this instance? I tried but was unsuccessful. (I already ticked the box to allow NSFW in settings)

        Sure.

        For example, I try to see !gonewild@lemmynsfw.com. If I go directly there I won’t be able to see anything because I’m not logged in. If I try to search for “!gonewild@lemmynsfw.com” in the communities tab in the FMHY instance I get no results. I also tried this from the lemmy.ml instance where I also have another account.

        The only solution I see is to create an account on the NSFW instance.

          I think when you initially search, it’ll only be searching “Communities” (look towards the upper left, under the word “Search”, at the drop-down tab menu). Change that to “all” and it should repopulate below. Click on the link which has the “…NameOfCommunity… - ## subscribers” formatting, and it should take you to the screen where you can subscribe to the community to the upper right.

          I would think searching with the “Communities” in the tab would work, but I’m guessing that means communities which are only in the community or instance that you are currently in. I hope that makes sense.

            It makes sense. Thanks. And I’ve been able to find almost everything I’m looking for but I still find some issues while searching for newer communities.

            For example, I’m looking to subscribe to the blackmetal community from lemmy.ml, I cannot find it under the FMHY instance, but I could find it with my account at the lemmy.ml instance.

            Probably I’m doing something wrong, or maybe the servers are saturated.
