Hello!

I've been thinking about hosting my own Lemmy instance, but wonder if there's an easy way to federate with other communities/instances. I like to browse the "All" tab, but that tab would be empty on a self-hosted instance I imagine.

Is there a way to get all communities of certain instances in my All feed? Or do I have to search up each individual community manually once?

You have to search them up at least once so they fill some posts, but if you want comments somebody from your instance has to be actively subscribed:

There are directories of all the fediverse like https://browse.feddit.de/ that can help you discover easier.

Could you in theory just have a bot user that subs to all known instances?

i did that partially. I have a bit user subscribed to many communities. Unfortunately that is a fully manual task - currently i don’t have an automated way of doing this

Yes, it is, might have a look at this, I don't think is too hard to make
