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.

Use this. It is exactly what we both wanted!

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

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
