The All timeline shows posts from communities that have at least one user from that instance subscribed to them.

If no users from instance A are subscribed to community X, this community will never show up in that instance's All timeline.

This is because otherwise instances have no idea what communities are out there. It isn't until a user subscribes to a remote community that the instance starts receiving posts for that community and learns that it exists.

When a user subscribes to a remote commmunity, the remote instance starts sending updates for content that's newly created for that community and the user's instance knows it exists and is able to display that received content in the ALL timeline.

Yes, but lemmit simply posts new stuff in chronological order. I'm talking about re-posting the countless good guides and tutorials so that searching on Lemmy can give better results.

I'm just trying to determine whether this could cause problem for instance owners.

Since it seems that Reddit does not hold the copyright we might want to have a Lemmy community where we can post such guides and tutorials, giving attribution.

Wow, I didn't even know this was a thing.

Check out something called Aurora store which lets you install app store games without the app store.

Oh, I think I have the perfect series of games to you because they also work as movies, sort of.

Check out the dark pictures anthology, until dawn and the quarry, all developed by supermassive games.

Here's a trailer: https://youtu.be/3NcF7EOnjow

Search @communityname@instance.domain in Mastodon. It should come up with something. That said, the latest Lemmy version has a known bug that temporarily breaks this in some cases.

Nothing a quick patch can't change. Lemmy code is open source and can be edited by anyone running an instance. If it hasn't been implemented it's because it's not yet a priority with all the influx of new users stability is more important.

Check out the federated timeline.

This is supposed to be just a fun exercise in creative writing xD
