I still don't fully understand the federation of instances, do other instances have to do something so I can interact with them? Or will it be only on my side?

Yeah, what I was also thinking is if for some reason the instance decides to close then I'd lose my posts and comments.
I'll give it a try, I have some free time and space on my server xD
AFAIK is every community your instance has access to that has already been accessed by someone in your instance.
What I mean is if someone creates a community in lemmy.one it won't show up for anyone in lemmy.ml until someone manually searches for it or for a post in that community.
It's not possible https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985
The other issue linked at the end says the possible solution is to export/import some data, like subscriptions. But it's not implemented yet.
Does it affect if I run lemmy inside a tailscale machine with all inbound ports closed?
uBlock origin has monero.house in its phishing blocklist .-.
Yeah, I understand that, it's why I used subscribe in quotes since I didn't know to phrase it better.
My question is, how an instance knows about the communities of other instances so they appear when changing from "local" to "all"?
Is it only until a user searches for them in that instance? Before that both instances are unknown to each other?
Or is there a config so one instance tries to always be updated of other instances?
Do instances "subscribe" to get the communities of other instances? Or how does it work the "all" filter?
Yeah, I also thought about that, but I think once I have my own instance it'll be easier to also contribute to the project and find improvements for this :)
