GitHub - jheidecker/lemmony: A better "All" browsing experience for small Lemmy instances

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.management/post/665809

I made this tool to help self-hosters, new admins, or smaller instances have more global and updated content on their instances.

This is the similar to Lemmy Community Seeder but is designed to be run periodically to capture new communities, and include EVERYTHING by default.

Wait, when I browse ALL from Lemmy.world it’s not showing all posts from all federated instances?

To show up in your all listing, a post must be:

  • from an instance that your instance is federated with and has not blocked
  • from a community that someone on your instance is subscribed to
  • from a community you haven't blocked
  • from an account you haven't blocked

No, technically it is only showing you updates from communities that someone on your instance is subscribe to. In theory if there were a community that no one was subscribed to you and not get any updates nor would you have a show up in all.
