I'm wishing there was some type of bot that would search out new communities on other instances that were formed and would go through the process of searching and joining so it shows up for users when they go to all.

Not because the process is too cumbersome, but because I've found that older posts and comments that happened before anyone joined don't end up showing up which is a shame.
