As far as I can tell this is just an article where someone's theorizes Musk's plan?

This will take care of the other commenters point about having to manually subscribe to everything. I just had it pull the top 500 communities from the top two instances and I'm fine...

Man how many people even know what this is lol

These are the comments that make Lemmy great.

I can't help but wonder if this would be better served at the client level. Either way I miss this feature.

This one is really nice too. I created an issue with the developer to try to limit it to the top most active communities just to not get 7,000. :D

Voat was a replica of Reddit in design. One centralized server. We would have ended up in the same crappy place even if that were a success because at some point they would have wanted to monetize it also.

You have to do some reading and learn about the technology behind Lemmy and federation to understand.

Thank you very much for the work on this! I just created a topic about this and yours is the most interesting solution!

The idea of this app, which is desperately needed, is to allow those of us that are running a very small private instance to still get access to all of the communities. If you have a decent user base then you don't need this anymore as the users themselves will provide the functionality.

So in my case I am the only user on my instance so I am certainly not going to be hammering a bunch of instances just to send me updates of whatever total number of communities I'm subscribed to.

Use this. It is exactly what we both wanted!

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