Hello!

I’ve been thinking about hosting my own Lemmy instance, but wonder if there’s an easy way to federate with other communities/instances. I like to browse the “All” tab, but that tab would be empty on a self-hosted instance I imagine.

Is there a way to get all communities of certain instances in my All feed? Or do I have to search up each individual community manually once?

    My first thought was also to make a bot that does this, give it a list of servers and it subscribes to all communities on those servers.

    Perhaps a subscriber limit, not subscribing to communities with less than X users might be useful. Not sure if that’s necessary though.

    Haven’t gotten around to it yet, but I think the Lemmy API has everything needed to do that. If you want a second pair of eyes on the code, reach out!
