Communities in Lemmy/Mbin are not federated by default. So when you create a new community, it will only be available to your instance. At least 1 person from all other instances must follow it in order to make it available. This tool does that. It follows your community from all remote instances until at least 1 other person follows it.

TIL, thank you for this Blaze!

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

What's the deal with lemmy.nz on this? They've registered their instance but also blocked it??

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

There you go again, always doing the Fedi-lord's work! ๐Ÿ˜†

It did add some new communties for me.

[-] serpineslair@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Thanks for this.

Some other thread had me trying to remember this the other day, so cheers on posting it. Might be worth adding to a pinned thread/sidebar as a resource (alongside various newcommunities and promo communities).

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Good point, I'll add it to the sidebar later

Futurology.today and slrpnk.net are missing

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Someone has to ask the admins to enable those, I remember there was some concern with resource consumption some time back.

[-] Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah I was honestly surprised this got posted and nobody said something like "the entire point of not automatically federating in new communities is to cut down on resource consumption," because to be honest? That was my first reaction. If nobody on a server is subbed to a certain community, it will not pull in its content, which is probably very helpful for smaller home-run instances. This kind of defeats that purpose. Although its damage is limited by the fact that only people actively engaged in creating a community will try to use it, and it will probably only be used by new communities.

This is so useful, thank you for sharing!

Turns out !latin@lemm.ee isn't federated with many instances.

We also weren't federated with lemmy.autism.place, so much potential users ;)

edit: noooooo ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Autism.place is decommissioned

[-] fxomt@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I done noticed too late ๐Ÿ˜“ There would've been big business in autistic people learning Latin..
