A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

New Lemmy Server - Get all communities (lemmy.todayyoutomorrow.me)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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!

That is how it works you have to manually add communities

Thanks! I was hoping it would auto-sync and get the newest communities but I understand now how it works. Thank you!

Use lemmyverse.net to find communities across all instances. It will make you search a lot easier, and show you when a community exists on multiple instances

If you are self hosting there is a tool on GitHub lcs that will auto subscribe to some communitues for you.

It's not another one per say but a list that I find really helpful for community Lemmy projects: Awesome Lemmy
