New Lemmy Server - Get all communities (lemmy.todayyoutomorrow.me)
submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by calvin@lemmy.todayyoutomorrow.me to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I have a new Lemmy server (lemmy.todayyoutomorrow.me) and I've noticed only communities I subscribe to show up.

The idea was to have my own local instance but I don't see how I can find new communities without using another instance first and finding those communities there and then manually adding them to mine. I have found the following two github projects:

lemmy-subscriber-bot

Lemmy Community Seeder (LCS)

EDIT/NEW:

lemmony

Does it sound right that I will have to use some app like these to be exposed to new communities?

Thanks all!

I just started running my own instance as well and have similar concerns. Interested in what you wind up doing.

Just a follow-up thanks for this recommendation. Working great!

This one is really nice too. I created an issue with the developer to try to limit it to the top most active communities just to not get 7,000. :D
