Join mine! I run several tools in order to federate with the most popular content automatically. I’m keeping user count limited, but sign ups are open at the moment.
I tried lemm.ee and it’s cool but I see so many hexbear posts on the All tab from like any of their communities spewing hate and it’s frustrating to scroll past
What apps do you recommend for swapping instances?
I have tried Jerboa and Connect. Both allow me to swap accounts from the main menu, but I am brought back to me default start view and not the community/thread I was looking at.
I noticed that, because I went to add my beehaw account that I had created when I joined Lemmy, but I guess beehaw deleted it for being inactive or something. Beehaw still shows up on my instance list, and I kind of wish I could remove it.
My instance has it. It’s local communities are focused on a specific niche (books & writing) so it might not be your cup of tea though. But basically when setting it up you specify which instances it pulls from, how often it pulls and how many communities it can pull at a time. You can filter specific communities and instances, and it’ll automatically ignore instances you’ve already defederated from. By default it pulls the top /all posts from the instances you specify. Mine pulls from a couple big instances and smaller niche instances as well every day around noon to get a solid diverse amount of content. You can also auto disable NSFW communities from populating as well. It’s basically the equivalent of telling the bot to go to the front page of each instance, seeing the top posts of the day and pulling from each community that’s there to check if it’s federated into your instance or not and if it isn’t itll pull it in for you.
With the way lemmy functions if a problematic community starts hitting /all an instance admin can just remove the community and it won’t federate into the instance anymore. Ideally there would be more granular federation options in the future, but with the things that the seeding bot does now it works pretty well.
Some of it is also federating content in, you don’t need an admin to do so for you. If you have a link to a different instances community, just pasting it into the search bar of your local instance will federate the community into your instance for you. Go to lemmyverse.net and find a community and its link then past it into the search of your local lemmy instance

I like to keep shit simple. :D
I like your rules too. But I have to admit I didn’t know what “No tankie shit” meant, so I had to look it up. 😀 That was a new term for me.
Sent an application in!

I believe there is a way to block instances, I don’t know if it blocks comments but i believe it would block the posts
Thats what I do. It’s a strength of the fediverse, and most of the apps handle account swapping pretty seamlessly.

I really like Liftoff for this. You can choose instances on the fly while posting, searching, or reading comments without losing your spot.
It’s really nice.

On your instances list long press Beehaw and the option to remove it will show up.
Omg, thank you so much
Some have community seeding bots that pull top communities and posts periodically from other instances.

Really? You sometimes have to click the search button a few times.
