Lemmy Federate is a tool to federate new communities in the Lemmyverse.

I would like to introduce you to the tool I have developed in last 2 days.

As you know, when you create a new community on Lemmy, it is initially only available to your instance until users in other instances follows too. To fix this, this tool automatically follows the community from remote instances.

I have previously published a similar but simpler version at boost.lemy.lol and now I remade it because I didn’t like some of its features. This time, instance admins will be able to strictly choose which instances they will allow or not. I’m open to your suggestions about different settings.

Please ask your instance admin to add their instance to this tool. To add it as an admin, all you have to do is log in and activate it from the settings.

Here’s some tasks I’ll implement in the future: https://github.com/ismailkarsli/lemmy-federate/issues

      90% of Lemmy’s storage/bandwidth load comes from the top 100 communities. So communities with lil activity probably wouldn’t create much of a burden.

      And yes, both instances must register on the site and choose which instances they allow. Either allowing instances explicitly or with some filters.
