Help with Federating a Server? (lemmy.ml)

Like many of you, I’m here thanks to the Great Reddit APIocalypse. In order to keep our active, tight-knit subreddit hobby community intact, I decided to create a server for our community to be able to continue no matter what happens on Reddit. Despite some challenges, things are going pretty well and our active user base is growing.

I really need help with federation, though. I managed to federate my server with Lemmy.ml, but when I look at Lemmy.ml communities from my account on that server I only see posts and comments from people at Lemmy.ml. I’d like to be able to federate with all servers so the users of our server can join communities all over Lemmy and see comments from users of all other Lemmys. Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to make that happen? Also, are there some Lemmys that I should ban no matter what?

Thank you!

Does this automatically add all of their communities to the "All" list? Is there any way to do that witbout searching for them one by one?

In my experience so far, it only adds the exact subscribed communities to your instance's "all" feed. I've started to interpret "all" to mean "all of my instance's users' subscribed communities". At least, this is how mine is working.
