It's dumb that someone needs to interact with community in order for it to federate with your instance. Like, how are you supposed to find it in the first place? It makes it difficult for communities to grow on instances that are not mainstream which makes decentralization useless.
This is one of the key issues with the entire Fediverse setup and it's not one there are any good answers to.
Not least since it makes being on the biggest instance objectively the best experience, this defeating the point of decentralisation.
I guess the only way to make things work will be to setup bot accounts that will exist on each existing instance and automatically interact with every community from other instances. With bot account it will be easier to do 10 000 000 actions when it's impossible to do manually.
