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?

      … okay? But if i subscribe to every lemmynsfw community, but never post to them… you’d have no idea.

      With your own instance, looking at the instance list will show them all to anyone.

        • This isn’t entitely true. I sometimes see communities I’m not subscribed to pop up on my server. I think it has to do with making the server look up a community by clicking on a link to it? I think one of the frontend I’ve tried prefetches links or something, because I’ve had to get rid of a few NSFW communities in my server that appeared without me subscribing to them.

          Most of the communities in the public list are indeed the ones a servers sole user is subscribed to for personal instances.

            Oh that’s interesting. I guess when your instance creates a local copy of the post, it would also add the corresponding community to the list to match.
