Would you be interested in having different versions of this? I briefly scrolled the list of communities, and they seem very developer/tech-focused, which I suppose lemmy is. But I think it would be neat to have a tech/Linux/developer seeder, a humor seeder (memes, comics, funny, etc.), a sports seeder, a cute seeder (cats, puppies, animals, etc.), a gaming seeder, etc. Then the admin could decide what type of seeder they want instead of just getting everything, potentially with tons of things they aren't interested in having on their instance.
I say this because I am interested in sports communities and don't see enough of it, but the number one complaint I see on lemmy regarding content type is that there's too much sports content. I moderate a sports community, but I wouldn't feel right adding it to the seeder since so many people complain about seeing it.
I am thinking about adding “tag” feature to let instances pick what tagged communities they want in the future but I can’t promise TBH.
Yeah, that sounds like a good solution. So if someone wanted everything except sports, they could get that.
