<tap, tap, tap> Is this mic on?

With the loss of lemmy.fmhy.ml I decided I would add a Lemmy instance to my virtual server rack. This is a test send as much as anything.

First thoughts... The documentation and the example configs could possibly be a bit clearer. Not sure how I would reword them though. Also, there has got to be a better way for a smaller instance to begin seeing communities than browsing lemmyverse.net and then manually searching for the communities from your new instance.

You can use https://lemmy.world/c/lsbsupport to populate your server! Do notice, database size will grow, as per expected.

Following that link directly is giving me a server error, and it doesn't bring anything except up in search except your comment. Is there a particular way I'm supposed to use it?

Yeah the link seems dead. Don't know what the other guy was suggesting but I used lemmony, which works quite well despite being a bit on the clunky side.
