So, I’ve started my own Lemmy instance. The main issue is that right now, I am the only user, which makes it pretty easy for anyone to see what kinds of communities I visited, or am subscribed to. Is there any way to automate creation of some amount of accounts, and subscribing to random communities?
… okay? But if i subscribe to every lemmynsfw community, but never post to them… you’d have no idea.
With your own instance, looking at the instance list will show them all to anyone.
If you are the only user on an instance, your subscriptions are the only ones federating over into the server’s All feed. For example, even if you haven’t posted in all of these communities, is this not essentially your personal list of subscriptions?

That’s precisely the issue I’m talking about

Oh that’s interesting. I guess when your instance creates a local copy of the post, it would also add the corresponding community to the list to match.
