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.

You could try using a tool like LCS to flesh out your instance a bit by automatically subscribing to popular communities.

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.

So far, not really. Only a few gigs so far, but it’s hard to predict how big it could get.

By the way, Oracle free tier has 200GB of storage for ARM64 systems.

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

I loved this app when I used an Android and immediately bought premium. Very sad to see it go.

It’s got to be Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, and really everything by Nobuo Uematsu.

Also you can’t go past Koji Kondo. Ocarina of Time is a great example of how talented he is.

Is it mostly Lemmy.ml? That’s what I’ve found.

Very impressive!
