Just wondering if it would be possible to enable the instance on LemmyFederate since then we could more easily distribute communities from here to elsewhere since as it is it's kind of hard to grow communities or even just have them be discoverable on other instances.

Uh for those who don't know LemmyFederate is a service that allows communities to be distributed to other instances via a bot that subscribes to them, then unsubscribes once a real user joins. It's helpful because communities don't become visible on remote servers until someone from that server searches and subscribes to it. Due to a limitation of how the Activitypub system works.

Can you set which communities?

You have to manually input each Community into the tool to get it to start doing its magic.

On instances where auto-add is enabled, it will fetch communities automatically and subscribe to them.
