Easier community discovery - PieFed knows all the communities already (join.piefed.social)

Finding communities to join can be hard because each fediverse server only knows about a community after someone has joined it before. It's a chicken and egg problem. To solve this, PieFed comes with eggs included!

Techy details: a local copy of https://data.lemmyverse.net/data/community.full.json is regularly updated, inactive and nsfw communities removed and then the resulting shortlist is used to suggest search results to people when adding a remote community.

Check out the video for a quick demo.

Massive props to @JollyDevelopment@piefed.social for their work on this feature!

PieFed also has an equivalent of lemmy-federate for mass subscribing, built into the admin area.
