Request a subreddit
Make requests for new subreddits/communities here, using the name of the subreddit as the title, or with a link to the subreddit as the url.
For anything else, go to [email protected].
Requests for NSFW subs should be marked as such.
They often have nsfw thumbnails, and will show up unblurred on other servers.
Warning: Use common sense when requesting.
Comments are not copied over. So requests for explainLikeImFive or askMidgets are useless, since you'll never get the answers here.
Also keep in mind that each sub you request here takes resources to process forevermore. So, you know, show some restraint.

I just want to contribute and I don't see any limitation. What is wrong with that?
Contribute by actually building a community, not just requesting a bunch of subreddits to sit ontop of and do nothing with.
I am one of the moderators on lemmy and I have to admit that information on reddit is much faster than Lemmy
The thing is, the more communities are added, the longer it will take to update all of them. Right now there's over a 100 communities, and it takes a little over 7 minutes to update them all, and then it starts over again.
This isn't a problem right now, but it won't scale forever. At some point (probably sooner than later), it will probably mean having to remove the communities with the least subscribers.
Is your bot open source? Was thinking about spinning up a lemmy instance and I'd consider adding it to help spread the load, I'm sure there are other instances that'd join in too
