I made a tool for discovering new communities on lemmy
Hey, I made a simple webapp, that shows you a random community with basic stats, description and top 10 posts of all time from this community.
You can use it without logging in, but for automatic following, the login is required.
All data is stored in your browser and code is open source.
Some info and issues of the app:
- I made it in a day, so bugs may and will happen
- It uses a json list of communities from browse.feddit.de
- It ignores all NSFW communities. I'm planning on adding a switch for that, but if you really want, you can change
nsfwFilter
property in local storage through devtools.all
is for everything,none
is for no NSFW andonly
is for only NSFW communities. - Sometimes it fails to follow a community. Maybe it's because community is not yet "synced" to the instance you logged in from. Don't know much about exact reason, because I'm new to lemmy from the tech side.
- There is also a planned feature to exclude whole instances. Currently only possible with editing local storage.
You're viewing a single thread.
Am I missing something? Or is the link to this tool not actually present in the post? I only see a screenshot.

Nope, wasn't there for me. Still isn't. The post was edited and the update haven't yet came through.
8 0 ReplyWeird, I'm looking at this post 20 hours after you posted that and I see no link at all.
Thanks for the help! ❤️

Actually, I can't find it either, which means that probably no one else in the commenters actually tried it ha ha

I don't see a link either, even when browsing the original post on the instance that you posted it to.
