So, I’ve started my own Lemmy instance. The main issue is that right now, I am the only user, which makes it pretty easy for anyone to see what kinds of communities I visited, or am subscribed to. Is there any way to automate creation of some amount of accounts, and subscribing to random communities?

      Maybe by monitoring federation data, or seeing which communities have been fetched?

      I know that if you’re the first person in an instance to look at a community, it won’t load right away. However I’m not sure how someone would monitor that (or why they would want to)

        If there’s only one user that instance’s “all” feed will be indistinguishable from the user’s subscription feed.

        (unless you do some community seeding)
