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!

    Yeah, this is kind of disappointing. There’s no consistent experience. What I see may be very different from what you see and while that’s in itself is not necessarily bad, it makes it hard to discover communities.

    I guess it’s the price we pay for decentralization and I’m okay with that.
