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!

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

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

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
