How can I make it subscribe, to every community, on every instance, every day?
You can’t, but you can provide a list of instances and then tell it to subscribe to the top X communities in TopDay, Hot, Active, etc.
But if everyone does that it will creates a positive feedback cycle where the most popular get more exposure get more popular while the rest gets ignored.
I have it set up so that a bot user is subscribing, not my user. That way the communities are populated with comments and appear in All if I'm interested in the future, but otherwise I wouldn't see them. It makes my instance feel much more alive.
Also, it's worth noting that you can provide a list of the Lemmy instances in the config. You can be as obscure as you like here.
I think the job of seeking out smaller, more niche communities has to be a manual one.
Is there a way to query an instance a list of all its communities ?
