Apologies for yet more dumb questions. Not sure if it’s a Thunder thing or a Lemmy thing.

When I go to search for new communities, I only get the option now to search within the instance I signed up on (Aussie.zone) instead of everywhere. Have I accidentally changed a setting somewhere?

    AHH!!! NOW! THAT’S interesting! How curious!!! What a whacky phenomenon!

    So in theory, if I set up a new account and subscribed to all 26k communities, (made up number) then everyone else on ‘my’ instance could see them too!

      Yes.

      I even saw scripts which mass subscribe to popular communities to populate new instances.
