Remote communities do show the fully qualified community name in the url though. /c/piracy@instance.com should show the same thing on all instances.

The (simplified) way it works is it reads data from the public observer's API and check if ((total users > (totalPosts + totalComments) > susScore) as a "suspicious" community. "susScore" is configurable if you want to run your own instance of it.

We need Unidan back now more than ever 🤗🐦‍⬛

Haha, mines gone up just a bit too since running Lemmy :D

Hey that's my site 😁 I'm looking to add a "join a server" page and make it similar to the join Lemmy one with recommended servers

I'm now also thinking about making the communities list the default..

This is the right answer! 👍

I have a feature planned so you can login and one click subscribe/unsubscribe all on one page. Stretch goal though I've gotta patch some bugs first 😁

Yeah they really shot up! I'm pretty sure it's an accurate number. I did an crawl last night and picked up another ~3000 communities. A lot might be from instances that are under high load/timing out so might not have been picked up previously. Imma do some more analysis with my data in the future.

I hope so too! The current problem is that new Lemmy instances start with no communities and you have to search to get federation started. If there was an easier way to do a global search within a fresh Lemmy instance that'd be nice!

I can only speak for myself, but I started work on mine since the Feddit one is fixed wide mode and the searching/filtering is less than ideal, I wanted to be able to see more details. Feddit one doesn't show instance stats iirc. There are also other lists, but I didn't find any of them super user-friendly.... If Lemmy is gonna succeed Reddit there needs to be some super friendly tools to assist community discovery.

Hehe they do look quite similar so great minds right 😁 I had the same thourght when I saw yours! I'll add a link to yours to the list on my about page if you want 😀

I have links to the source for my crawler (written in nodejs with redis task queuing) on https://lemmyverse.net (GitHub link top right) 🤗 It's a bit messy at the moment but has all the community crawling stuff.
