Try to visit other instances and search their interesting communities on your own instance so there is a better federation among all instances.
Subscribing to as many communities as you can would help grow your instance much better.

I think when you initially search, it’ll only be searching “Communities” (look towards the upper left, under the word “Search”, at the drop-down tab menu). Change that to “all” and it should repopulate below. Click on the link which has the “…NameOfCommunity… - ## subscribers” formatting, and it should take you to the screen where you can subscribe to the community to the upper right.
I would think searching with the “Communities” in the tab would work, but I’m guessing that means communities which are only in the community or instance that you are currently in. I hope that makes sense.
It makes sense. Thanks. And I’ve been able to find almost everything I’m looking for but I still find some issues while searching for newer communities.
For example, I’m looking to subscribe to the blackmetal community from lemmy.ml, I cannot find it under the FMHY instance, but I could find it with my account at the lemmy.ml instance.
Probably I’m doing something wrong, or maybe the servers are saturated.
