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?
I’ll give it a shot :) If I manage to make something useful I’ll share it
I also run a self hosted instance so I would be interested in a bot that stays subscribed to communities I want “synced” into my instance without me also being subscribed
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!
I’d like something like this too, if you get somewhere please let me know!
