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’s the one I went with and it certainly seems to work well. Do you just pull the two top categories that are set by default?

      I added Top Hour. I left the run schedule at 240 minutes but it seems to keep up pretty well. I’m regularly subscribing to new communities from the All tab
