So, I’ve started my own Lemmy instance. The main issue is that right now, I am the only user, which makes it pretty easy for anyone to see what kinds of communities I visited, or am subscribed to. Is there any way to automate creation of some amount of accounts, and subscribing to random communities?
AFAIK post history is always public, like Reddit. I’m mainly concerned about subscription list
In that case simply blocking access to the Lemmy API (not the federation API) from IP addresses should be sufficient.
Running one of the various subscriber bots would make your own subscriptions simply be part of the noise otherwise on the server. The downside of course being that now you have a pile of noise to sift through. Left one sit for about a week onine and emded up with around 2000 communities subscribed.
