This will take care of the other commenters point about having to manually subscribe to everything. I just had it pull the top 500 communities from the top two instances and I'm fine...

I don't get how we can block. I long press anything and I get a browser menu...

EDIT: Figured it out!

Man how many people even know what this is lol

I think it would be beneficial to start enforcing not using that setting. Don't receive posts from anyone that has unspecified at the server.

I'm not sure either understand the fact Lemmy has language settings that aren't apparently used. Seems this can be solved by just setting the language to "English" for instance...

And it worked perfectly! Thank you for that work!

The problem is you lose the ability to encounter new communities by browsing "All". And since I'm the only user on my instance I will never discover any communities that I don't manually add or find on third-party websites not to mention that process of using those websites is cumbersome and tedious...

I added the top few thousand communities and the server runs absolutely fine. :)

These are the comments that make Lemmy great.

I can't help but wonder if this would be better served at the client level. Either way I miss this feature.

This one is really nice too. I created an issue with the developer to try to limit it to the top most active communities just to not get 7,000. :D

New Lemmy Server - Get all communities (lemmy.todayyoutomorrow.me)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by calvin@lemmy.todayyoutomorrow.me to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

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!
