I did a search from shitjustworks for “reddit die” and did not find lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a “ping” sent out to notify all other federated instances....
It probably didn’t show up in the first place it only has 66 subscribers, and probably none on SJW.
About your second point, you indeed have to promote your community, using !newcommunities, or related communities. This works quite well usually.
I will add that in your case, people knew about your community as you posted in other communities, but as discussed then, people seemed happy with the existing Reddit-focused communities.
Relying on !all to have your newly created community to reach most of the people could work, but using the Scaled sort as it wouldn’t have enough subscribers to push it using Hot or Active.
There is only one !newcommunities, it has 15k subscribers, seems like a pretty good way to promote it.
I’d fear instead that centralisation is pretty sticky without some massive failure and wouldn’t expect much movement in the proportion of users on lemmy.world.
It happened in August during the long DDoS attacks on LW.
I guess here it’s less prevalent because the site is still accessible, and most of the users don’t really follow closely the Lemmy versions.
This is a chance for any users, admins, or developers to ask anything they’d like to myself, @nutomic , SleeplessOne , or @phiresky about Lemmy, its future, and wider issues about the social media landscape today....
But wouldn’t it be great if the knitting community (for example) on beehaw.org, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and feddit.de would be merged for me into one entity for a better browsing experience?
Why wouldn’t they merge on one instance? Seems easier, and can be done today compared to having to ask the developers to implement a complex feature.

Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance.
