A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Looking for a Method to Subscribe to All Communities on Multiple Lemmy Instances (lemmy.virtim.dev)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/asklemmy

21 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm running a standalone Lemmy instance, but I'm not planning to develop or grow a community on said instance since it's mostly to practice my infra and DevOps skills. I would, however, like to subscribe to all communities on other instances, for example, on lemmy.world and several others. Is there an easy way, or can I only subscribe to each community individually?

You can only subscribe to communities individually, and as of this current moment, there is nothing like the "relays" that other Fediverse platforms have to push known instances to your own instance.

The way federation works is that an instance must explicitly search for an ActivityPub compatible instance and then start requesting data from it, there are no central locations that will provide an instance with all of the known Fediverse.
