Some slrpnk communities not appearing in fedi datasets (e.g. nolawns)
These communities did not make it into the lemmyverse DB:
- nolawns
- asshole_design
Anyone know why, and how it might be fixed?
I don’t suppose there is any problem on the slrpnk side of this because when I list the communities from a logged out browser, the two show up there. So it appears to be a defect in the lemmyverse scraper. I’ve not looked at the code for that but I recall that there is a website where you can enter a community address and a bot adds a subscription does some things in terms of publicity for the community. I’m not sure what it does, but I wonder if that mechanism is connected to the Lemmyverse DB at all.
If yes, then in principle I wonder if slrpnk.net would want to promote its own communities by automatically signalling whenever a new community is created, so community builders need not each have to be informed of it.
UPDATE: I wonder if the answer might be for a bot to automatically post communities on https://ponder.cat/c/communities
