It’s another bot that watches for communities that you might want to subscribe to, and posts them so you can subscribe if you want their content.

Enjoy.

    That sounds pretty cool! I have a question, does it only shares Lemmy communities, or does it shares Mbin/Piefed communities too?

      I’m pulling data from lemmyverse.net, so it is only Lemmy right now.

      I just tried to add Mbin, but it looks like Lemmyverse doesn’t have the same MAU counts for Mbin that it does for Lemmy. I like the idea of adding it, if I can get it. Do you know of a place that summarizes MAU and subscriber count for those platforms?

      I realized that it’s pretty easy for the bot to just subscribe me to any good-sized community from an Mbin or Piefed server, and then get MAU counts from the Lemmy API. I’ve done that now. It’s a bit of a hack, but communities from those instances are included in the list as of now.
