I am seeing subscribed communities on my feed here that I have been subscribed to ever since I first joined Lemmy. The only thing is I have not seen them on any other instance. Any idea why that is?

I primarily used the zip account. I didn't think they defederated anybody or were defederated by more than 4 instances. Looks like i might have been wrong.

Lemmy only subscribes to remote communities once a user has subscribed to it. They're a smaller instance so their users may not have subscribed to such a wide variety of communities. This could give you a much smaller everything feed.

I also previously seeded our instance with https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs to help ensure we get as much as possible.

Ah, then I'm sure I'll enjoy it here.

You can still subscribe to those communities from Lemmy sites that don't currently import them. You just need to copy their URL from the hosting site and paste it into the search bar of whichever website you're registered on. That will cause your host to fetch the remote community. It will then start receiving updates once you subscribe.
