many people just browse the /all/newest feed which is an aggregate of all subscriptions on the instance, and then you can subscribe from those posts
I'm asking about before anyone has subscribed to remote instances' stuff, how do they find the remote instances' stuff to begin with? Sorry, having trouble finding a clearer way to ask this without getting in the weeds
New PieFed instances download a list of communities from an instance of your choice OR https://lemmyverse.net/ and automatically subscribe the admin to communities that match certain criteria (recently active, reasonable number of subscribers, etc).

Impressive
well, i use a bot to pre-subscribe my instance to all new advertised communities in the places others users have already mentioned.
