I wasn’t sure how to find the communities I’m interested in, so I quickly hacked together a scraper that makes a list of all the communities(1) of all the servers mine is federating to(2).
You can find it (with a very trivial UI) at directory.fstab.sh. Hover over the link to see the description. Use the search bar to search by text.
Is this something useful or there was a better way to do the same?
- (1) it does its best to scrape them all but incidents might happen
- (2) updated nightly
How does the directory discover communities? As, for instance, this community ([email protected]) does not exist in the directory.
This one was on page 3 of lemmy.world, heh. Rolling out the update that tries to scrape all pages proper right now.
Allright. Good luck 😉
