I have it set up so that a bot user is subscribing, not my user. That way the communities are populated with comments and appear in All if I'm interested in the future, but otherwise I wouldn't see them. It makes my instance feel much more alive.

Also, it's worth noting that you can provide a list of the Lemmy instances in the config. You can be as obscure as you like here.

I think the job of seeking out smaller, more niche communities has to be a manual one.

Memmy is really good. The TestFlight is full but it’s about to get released on the App Store

wefwef is a web app and it’s also really good. You can install it to your home screen and you’d never know it wasn’t a native app.

Mlem has potential but so far it’s got a bit of work to do to catch up to the above two.

You can’t, but you can provide a list of instances and then tell it to subscribe to the top X communities in TopDay, Hot, Active, etc.

I’m running a very small instance and I highly recommend using LCS:

https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs

Essentially it automatically subscribes to popular communities from other instances on behalf of a user within your instance. That way, when you want to subscribe to a community at some point, it’s quite likely that it will already be full of comments already.

Join the Memmy TestFlight. We’re getting updates pretty much every day.

So why are we getting so many earthquakes recently? I don’t really remember any before that big one in 2021.

Exactly, venv solves this issues for me

I can’t speak for Kbin but I’ve had only really positive interactions on Lemmy

Some great books there, that reminds me I need to read some Susanna Clark.

[–] HorseFD@lemmy.buzz 1 points 1 year ago

Already mentioned, but Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I’m not sure if I read it in one sitting or two.

That's interesting, they're two of my biggest interests. I wonder if this is true for a lot of other people.

Not the best thing to post, probably worthy of a temp ban to be honest.
