Cool.
Would this work for existing instances, as well, to allow discovery of communities no-one has yet subbed to?

Theoretically, yes. One could technically reverse sort, or maybe grab the last page. Hadn't considered this.
I wouldn't want to pointlessly federate everything on every server... Maybe once a community hit some certain level of local activity, I'd want some posts to start coming through into all.
This is really interesting. But how well does it actually work? I'm attempting a personal server on a Raspberry pi right now but the compiling is taking a huge amount of time.
You could always build the image on another computer and import it since building anything takes forever on a pi.
I would love to know more about how that works! If that's an option then that's what I want to do lol
Build it on another computer with a better CPU and then use the save/load feature to tarball it and move it.

Very interesting. I need to sleep now but I'll definitely read that tomorrow! Thanks.
Works great for me? Hah
I'm using it now, it seems to be working really well. One thing I would probably suggest is adding the ability to list community names not to add. For example, on my personal instance I wasn't really wanting "Piracy" communities, since they could federate infringing data to my instance. But piracy communities are fairly big, so I need to go back and prune them out.
Added.
This is a good idea. I will add a wildcard.
This is very cool!
I just finished setting up a personal instance, but I can't figure out how to run this on my machine? Can someone eli5?
This is some great stuff, Ima give it a shot
This tool works great! Thanks for your work on this
