Why cant I see all all communities of PieFed from a Lemmy instance? (t.feddit.org)

Hey there!

Already posted this on the instance itself, but there seems no explanation on why I can see one community, but not the other - no matter what I'm looking for.

Might this be a Lemmy←→PieFed problem?

Flagged as NSFW, because the link will then refer to NSFW communities.

Wait a sec, I thought it was if someone on your instance subscribes to A community in another instance. How is the first person supposed to find a specific community without discovery?

    Piefed iirc tackles it by implementing bundles of communities by topics.

    Also there are some communities specific for discovery, like !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, !newcommunities@lemmy.world, !trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe and !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which may help.

    I think discoverability is one of the biggest issues facing the fediverse in general and the threadiverse specifically. There are third-party sites that try to catalog the wider ecosystem of communities (like lemmyverse - click the dropdown to switch between lemmy/piefed/mbin), but relying on third-party services like that is far from an ideal solution, and it is a barrier of entry to casual, non-techie users.
