https://lemmy.ml/c/the_kids_in_the_hall@lemmy.ca doesn’t work, but that form of syntax seems to work for other communities.

    You have to have at least one user on an instance subscribed to a community, or else it will just sit there all stale…

      Unfortunate how lemmy seems geared to work for the most popular things and fail at the margins, when the margins may deserve our love more.

        Well yes and no, I mean barring the mega big ones, everyone on the instance will bring in special things they like to the “All” stream right?

        Maybe “everything” from the big instances drowns away the smaller things though…

          But there seem to be all of these hurdles even to get into the All stream, where I had figured we’d all be there automatically.

            Yeah, the language choice had me for a while. You have to use the “undefined”, but Also English and other languages!

            Then have users on your instance subbing to communities for them to show up on your instances “All”.

            I guess we’ll figure it all out eventually (especially software wise) but today it’s a bit of manual labour and definitely some luck!

              And I didn’t know this either. I had thought having “undefined” at all was supposed to break things somehow.
