But you NEED a functioning feed to discover new stuff ACROSS the threadiverse. How else will you be able to find other communities?

Search, people link to them, looking at community lists on interesting instances, etc. Honestly browsing by all as it currently exists is one of the worst ways to find new communities. Maybe that could be improved but that’s where it stands today.

This, and via crossposting. I discovered a couple of interesting communities because someone cross-posted stuff I was interested in to those communities. Likewise, I try to cross-post my own post to some popular communities, and niche communities to give them more visibility.

Why are people wondering that lemmy.world gets bigger and bigger if everone is told to stay on their local/subscribed feed
