I wasn't sure how to find the communities I'm interested in, so I quickly hacked together a scraper that makes a list of all the communities(1) of all the servers mine is federating to(2).

You can find it (with a very trivial UI) at directory.fstab.sh. Hover over the link to see the description. Use the search bar to search by text.

Is this something useful or there was a better way to do the same?

  • (1) it does its best to scrape them all but incidents might happen
  • (2) updated nightly

And if you set your home, you get to open all the links from that instance! It makes it super helpful to subscribe to new communities.
