This is a service to help communities propagate to other instances and help with discovery of communities. So far tested and working with PieFed & Lemmy Instances - I suspect it should work with Mbin, but need to test it (Any Mbin Instance volunteers?)

Anyone is free to add their community to the list, but only admins can add their instance to receive communities.

This tool is designed to be simple to use, not requiring fiddling with your instances DNS unlike Lemmy-Federate. Verification for authority to register your instance is done via a message that checks to see if the person confirming is an admin account. It also back-propagates, so on joining your instance will subscribe to all previously added rather than only new ones going forward.

This is my first time launching a service like this, and as such it may not work flawlessly - please share any feedback or suggestions.

@Quokka @scrubbles Cool. Can you give me an example of a bot account that federates out communities to the larger fedi to follow?

    https://quokk.au/u/quokka3 - is the one I'm using for quokk.au. Each instance needs its own account, and the account must be added by that instances admin to allow the choice to opt in/out.

    Is some of the communities it has subscribed that have been added to federation.quokk.au.
