LPT: The Lemmy-Federate project is able to do that automatically with a single click by using a bot on each participating server, which then unsubs once a real user from that instance subs to the community. 😄
Ah, that makes sense. It’d still be nice for it to be baked-in functionality that’s just disabled by default. A bot that pretends to be users seems unnecessarily hacky, but ultimately it probably doesn’t really matter much.

I’m aware of this, but some instance owners prefer to not enable it due to network and storage consumption: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/28227815?scrollToComments=true
Thats super cool! Seems like that should honestly be part of lemmy by default
There are network and storage issues, see the other comment
