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
Bookmarked! I can filter by instance (domain) and keyword. It’s very fast! Thanks for making and sharing this!
I really like the “Communities” tab of https://lemmyverse.net
Looks like it might be very helpful on a computer. I never do anything on a computer unless it’s absolutely necessary. It might be in this case though. I’d like to check out the Acoustic Guitar community on ml and maybe find out more about bagel transcription.
How does the directory discover communities? As, for instance, this community (!fediverse@lemmy.world) 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 😉
