One of the harder aspects of navigation in lemmy is seeing interesting new communities on remote instances. What if there was a post here (meta) or chat that had links to all the local communities and when a new post is made to yiffit, a comment is added that links to the chat/meta post. That way if someone stumbles on something here they like, they don’t have to use some work around to see what else is here. I don’t know much about the lemmy API, but the list could simply check once a day?/week?/month? and update the post if anything changed.
Yes, I am aware [email protected] exists, but remote users probably aren’t. I am also aware of the link in the sidebar (when present), but that is outdated and you only see it if you know its there.
Exactly. The idea was not to have the list in the comments, but to link to a “static” post that has the list.
Cool, I’m already working on something. Used @[email protected]’s pythorhead library to keep it populated.
I didn’t realize someone had made python wrappers for the API. I was actually thinking of spinning up a local instance or finding a test community to try and play around with it.
