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 can vouch for community seeder, my personal instance all page looks as populated as my kbin.social account.

That's the one I went with and it certainly seems to work well. Do you just pull the two top categories that are set by default?

I added Top Hour. I left the run schedule at 240 minutes but it seems to keep up pretty well. I'm regularly subscribing to new communities from the All tab

Do we get rid of the space so that it shows as TopHour?

[-] mcmxci@mimiclem.me 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, sorry. I have

COMMUNITY_SORT_METHODS: '[
        "TopAll",
        "TopDay",
        "TopHour" ]'
