Hey, I made a simple webapp, that shows you a random community with basic stats, description and top 10 posts of all time from this community.

You can use it without logging in, but for automatic following, the login is required.

All data is stored in your browser and code is open source.

Some info and issues of the app:

  1. I made it in a day, so bugs may and will happen
  2. It uses a json list of communities from browse.feddit.de
  3. It ignores all NSFW communities. I'm planning on adding a switch for that, but if you really want, you can change nsfwFilter property in local storage through devtools. all is for everything, none is for no NSFW and only is for only NSFW communities.
  4. Sometimes it fails to follow a community. Maybe it's because community is not yet "synced" to the instance you logged in from. Don't know much about exact reason, because I'm new to lemmy from the tech side.
  5. There is also a planned feature to exclude whole instances. Currently only possible with editing local storage.

Probably the edit somehow didn't work for you (I forgot to post the link initially, but added it after like 2 minutes).

The link is https://stirante.github.io/lemmy-discover/

The link still isn't in the post.

That's a pretty plausible scenario. Thank you!

When I try to follow while being logged in, it says ''Could not find community'' error.

Weird, I'm looking at this post 20 hours after you posted that and I see no link at all.

Thanks for the help! ❤️

Actually, I can't find it either, which means that probably no one else in the commenters actually tried it ha ha
