As the question states. I have the skiils and know how to setup a new instsnce and from looking through the documentation its relatively straight forward. Im just wondering would it actually help the fediverse and lemmy as a whole? There seems to already be plenty of instances to choose from. What are your guys thoughts?
I’m not experienced at cleanup, and I don’t think lemmony offers an undo. But if you used an account other than your primary… I think deleting that account will nuke its subs and you can start over. If I’m wrong, this may leave a bunch of orphaned subs with no user and no way to write an api-script to unsub.
In either case, I do recommend doing your automated subs on a different account and viewing them in all rather than directly subbing your main account to all that junk. It definitely give you more options for cleanup.
Awesome feature. It’s great to see you thoughtfully trying to balance the community discovery problem with the federation overhead caused by mass subscription.
While I continue to favor and recommend manual subscription, I’ve bookmarked lsb and lcs to recommend to folks looking for automated approaches. I think they’re looking pretty good right now and seeing you proactively address feedback gives me faith that they’ll get even better.
I created a bot account for this, so all green on that front, will experiment with it, thanks!
