Try to visit other instances and search their interesting communities on your own instance so there is a better federation among all instances.
Subscribing to as many communities as you can would help grow your instance much better.

Think of each instance like a mini-reddit all on it’s own, you’ll need to make a seperate account if you jump to another instance.
The neat is that you don’t need to do that, any instance can view and engage with the content of another instance, so for example https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/startrek@startrek.website is how you will visit the community on startrek.website through fmhy.ml.
This might be confusing at first, but just remember that since you have made an account on lemm.fmhy.ml, every community you browse should be through this this instance. Hope that cleared some things up. You are welcome to ask if you have any further questions though, I know this isn’t the most intutive. (I’ve also collected some guides you might want to skim through)
That was really handy, thank you. It was confusing at first but you made it way easier.
Thank you! Even just seeing the url format helps me understand the relationship a lot better.
