As you know, when you create a new community on Lemmy, it is initially only available to your instance until users in other instances follows too. To fix this, this tool automatically follows the community from remote instances.

I have previously published a similar but simpler version at boost.lemy.lol and now I remade it because I didn't like some of its features. This time, instance admins will be able to strictly choose which instances they will allow or not. I'm open to your suggestions about different settings.

Please ask your instance admin to add their instance to this tool. To add it as an admin, all you have to do is log in and activate it from the settings.

Here's some tasks I'll implement in the future: https://github.com/ismailkarsli/lemmy-federate/issues

So if I create a spam community on lemmy.world and lots of other instances have opted to trust lemmy.world, they automatically subscribe to my spam community and then get sent my spam?

Yes. But you can still do that, there are so many unmoderated communities anyway.

Looks interesting. Would kbin support be added at some point?

[–] iso@lemy.lol 1 points 9 months ago

Maybe. I need to check Kbin API docs.
