I've been thinking about setting up my communities based on what I used to follow on Reddit but honestly, I get about 30 seconds to browse at a time and it's too much of a mental hurdle to be like ok...I need to go to what site was it? And I need to keep going back to my Reddit subreddit list, then search for every subreddit on [whatever that site was] then go to the app and paste some URL in... All of this is a pain in the arse on mobile and if it's not the sort of thing I can do in a minute or two then it's not going to get done.

Maybe someone will write a service that lets you enter your Reddit username and it just auto-searches for the closest matching community for each subreddit you are subscribed to and auto-adds them to your Lemmy account

4 more...

That makes sense, and if you're talking about being purely read only, it can all be cached relatively cheaply

Maybe? I thought I read that to search for communities across all instances you have to use some external website that indexed them all (can't remember the name)
