I wasn’t sure how to find the communities I’m interested in, so I quickly hacked together a scraper that makes a list of all the communities(1) of all the servers mine is federating to(2).
You can find it (with a very trivial UI) at directory.fstab.sh. Hover over the link to see the description. Use the search bar to search by text.
Is this something useful or there was a better way to do the same?
(1) it does its best to scrape them all but incidents might happen
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
If you wanted to get help with moderating your own community then head over to [email protected]!
Rules
Posts must be on topic.
Be respectful of others.
Cite the sources used for graphs and other statistics.
How does the directory discover communities? As, for instance, this community ([email protected]) does not exist in the directory.
This one was on page 3 of lemmy.world, heh. Rolling out the update that tries to scrape all pages proper right now.
Allright. Good luck 😉
