Let's find some new communities!

This is a bot-fed community for finding new communities to subscribe to.

The bot's list is based on reading lemmyverse.net, sorting the resulting communities by (MAU divided by subscriber count), and posting the highest-ranking one that hasn't yet been printed.

It also reads Mbin and Piefed communities.

Enjoy!

Lol. Is this bot scraping the threadiverse for communities and posting them here?

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes.

It is monthly active user count (MAU) divided by number of subscribers. That gives a good metric for active communities, with a preference for newish communities with a lot of organic activity.

A few times a day, it takes the highest community by that metric, that has at least 50 subscribers and hasn't already been posted, and posts it.

@PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat btw there is no community info/sidebar, that explains how the bot works.
