    Oh, okay, so you’re talking about a case scenario where you’re on a small/new instance that also isn’t your own. Got it, dunno why I was making a different assumption. Yeah, I can see what you’re talking about then.

      Even if it is my own instance. It’s still high friction. Populating small instances, which is what we want in federation right? We want lots of distributed instances. We need central discovery, or distributed discovery, right now there’s basically no discovery at the instance level

        Yeah, on a more practical note, the liftoff lemmy app has lemmy.world baked in (and makes it fairly easy to add other instances to) which is a fairly big instance so its all feed could be a good point to start adding stuff in a fairly straightforward way. Not saying that’s as good as adding better discovery to mainline lemmy, but maybe a somewhat low barrier option to share with people who might find it useful in the meantime
