Not sure where to put this... but I noticed now that others are creating communities in this instance that I wasn't subscribed to any of the ones that were created after I had joined. Might not have even been subscribed to all of them that had existed when I did - it may have been just the community that i registered under..
So I guess this is just a reminder to all to periodically check the communities list so you're not missing out on the new new.
this is a great PSA! and yes, lemmy does not auto subscribe you to new communities that are created.
