Lemmy Community Seeder (LCS). Contribute to Fmstrat/lcs development by creating an account on GitHub.
When launching a new Lemmy instance, your All feed will have very little populated. Also as a small instance, new communities that crop up may never make their way to you. LCS is a tool to seed communities, so your users have something in their All feed, right from the start. It tells your instance to pull the top communities and the communities with the top posts from your favorite instances.
How to run manually and in docker is included in the repo.
Let me know if there’s anything anyone needs it to do and I’ll see if I can fit it in. I’m going to work on a “purge old posts that are unsaved and not commented on by local users” first, since small instances are sure to run out of disk space.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
