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!

The problem is you lose the ability to encounter new communities by browsing "All". And since I'm the only user on my instance I will never discover any communities that I don't manually add or find on third-party websites not to mention that process of using those websites is cumbersome and tedious...

I added the top few thousand communities and the server runs absolutely fine. :)
