FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

I think the whole point is to keep them from merging. No centralization. That way you can up and down vote servers along with post or block certain servers altogether. Now they might be able to incorporate it some way in the app where you could group common instances and assign your own categories. That would work pretty well.
Yeah exactly. I can see why they haven't done it since it conflicts with the core idea.
I agree. Allowing users to tag their communities, or even have mods tag their communities with related neighbor communities could be a good solution.
