I subconsciously tried wiping my screen.

Why’s that?
Would it be possible to at least show the total subscribers from all federated instances?

The comma usage is grammatically correct, as far as I can tell, but the caps-lock is, indeed, horrendous.

I’m not sure that there is much for actual server side support for cross posting just yet, but there is a way, at least on the web UI: if you click the two overlapping squares under you post title, it’ll open a new post with a link to the previous post and its content quoted underneath. It feels more like a work around for cross posting, but it does work.
I was referring to Rule 3 of the community:
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy
TL;DR: There is no singular answer to your question, imo. Essentially just run the instance transparently, reliably, and actively, and it will be attractive to people.
I’m not sure that there is one “best way” to grow an instance. An instance is essentially the fundamental governing framework for how the users interract with each other. You structure the rules around how you believe the users on your instance should interact, and those who agree with those rules will be drawn to them. Ideally, for sustainable growth in an instance, you also need reliable server infrastructure – the instance should be responsive, and have a reliable uptime. An instance’s admins must also actively moderate content. An instance with inactive moderators is not sustainable, and will quickly delve into hosting unwanted content on the instance which is undesirable for users.
This post possibly violates Rule 3 of !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

Kalcifer@lemmy.worldOPtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•What is the little Fediverse icon/logo for that is beside a user's name in a comment?6·2 years ago??? Why don’t you tap it and see.
I did try that. Nothing appeared to happen, or change on my end; however, I now realize what the issue was. The first thought that I had, when I first noticed that Icon, was actually the exact same as that which you said; it just never occured to me that I could be on the same instance as the comments in question. So, when I tried clicking that icon, I was clicking it on a post that was from Lemmy.world – the same instance that I am on. As such, I noticed no change in the displayed content – the page would appear to load, but nothing would actually change. This is, of course, to be expected – I just didn’t put 2 and 2 together. I apologize if my inquiry seemed lazy, or thoughtless.
As an aside, In my defence, the UI also doesn’t necessarily tell you what the icon does. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see the following:
Imo “link” isn’t exactly descriptive, as to the button’s purpose.

What sort of issues?
What I like about the Gadsden flag, as opposed to this one – according to how I interpret it, anyways – is that it advocates for the use of one’s voice before violence. The main symbol on the Gadsden flag is a timber rattlesnake. If you think about such a rattlesnake in nature, when you get too close to them, or provide them with a reason to feel wary, or uncomfortable they won’t immediately attack you, but will instead provide you with an auditory, nonviolent warning. It’s only when one ignores their warnings, and continues to harass the snake, or give them a reason to think that they are under immediate threat of harm that they will fight back, and will not hesitate to do so. In all other circumstances, the rattlesnake will mind it’s own business, and let you do the very same. I find this behaviour admirable of a creature, and it is, in my opinion, the true ethos of libertarianism. The Canada goose, on the other hand, won’t hesitate to harass you. they will routinely attack people just relaxing in a park. They provide little warning to someone that they find threatening, and will often choose to immediately strike out. This is not behaviour that should be emulated, or admired, in my opinion.
