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?
Ah, so someone needs to be actually subscribed to a community for their content to show up in All?
Alright I guess I’ll have to write a simple Bot that can do that for me then
If you’re comfortable with Python, you can try this out: Lemmy.py
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
I’d like something like this too, if you get somewhere please let me know!
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!
