And not being welcomed is going to stop them?

Hey, I see you have experience with Lemmy and I don’t see any place to ask this type of questions.

I was checking a community in an instance and realized that there were no federated posts. Are federated posts only visible from the ALL view? I was hoping for community browsing to also have a federated experience to enhance content. For example, if I want to browse the Gaming community of an instance, why shouldn’t I see gaming communities from other instances?

I understand this type of federation would require more interaction than instance to instance federation, but still, would be amazing to see more content when checking communities.

Isn’t federation a two way contract? Or is it enabled by default on instances and only blacklisted?
