This is my first day in the Fediverse, and I’m building out my sub list in Lemmy right now. I noticed that searching for Communities only looks within the instance that I’m logged into. Is there any easy way to search across all available Lemmy servers for Communities?
For micro/personal server runners, I built a tool to automatically discover and add communities to your local instance :)
https://github.com/lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot
EDIT: For support requests, I’ve created https://lemmy.world/c/lsbsupport as well.
Tried it, failed to get it running! Do you have a place where I can ask for assistance? A “home” post or a specific community for it? By any chance? :)
No, apologies, I didn’t had the foresight to setup a community for it.
How did you fail to get it running?
I’m getting this error from the docker container when I try to do the initial run:
root@lemmy-server:~/lemmybot# docker run --name lemmy-subscriber-bot --restart always -dt --env 'LEMMY_USERNAME=subscriber_bot' --env 'LEMMY_PASSWORD=mypwd123' --env 'LEMMY_DOMAIN=waste-of.space' lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot . c6bce2ed69f7a9745e7b98157b5765d20ddebe22cd1b9e5b0558a9057bb7b71f docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: ".": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.
Apologies, delete the last trailing dot. It was a typo.
Oh! Now it is running, I think. Should I just leave it on, or put it on for a few hours per day? or just once for a few hours?
sorry for the wall of questions! overly enthusiastic about Lemmy and the community that makes it great!
No problem with the questions, your choice really, I personally keep mine running, since there’s a hour of delay, between each run, but if you don’t feel comfortable, running it once is fine too!

Stupid question incoming: How do you know that the bot is working? What results are there?
