I'm just getting 'no recommendation at the moment' even for subs that are main/frontpage subs such as 'technology' and 'awww'

  That's because I'm still building the reddit-to-lemmy mapping, and for some cases in creating the lemmy communities themselves. There is also the fact that the largest Lemmy instances (lemmy.world) decided to consider alien.top as a mere "reddit repost" instance and decided to defederate with it, so I can not recommend instances from there as they will not be reachable.

    This seems like a flaw of the federation system. Why should defederation be two sided. You should be able to recommend public posts from lemmy.world, and they should be able to stop any outgoing communication within lemmy.world to alien.top, if thats what they want.

      I somewhat agree, but the thing is, I can recommend them and users on alien.top would even be able to subscribe to the community, but lemmy.world would never send updates to us. I actually wrote to the LW mods to see if there will eventually reconsider the decision (https://communick.news/comment/674064 https://communick.news/comment/674064), let's hope for the best.
