So, I’ve started my own Lemmy instance. The main issue is that right now, I am the only user, which makes it pretty easy for anyone to see what kinds of communities I visited, or am subscribed to. Is there any way to automate creation of some amount of accounts, and subscribing to random communities?

I did this on my instance. You create a new user and give the script those credentials, it goes out and subs to all the trending communities across the various instances so now my instance has a big mish-mash of communities federated, not just the ones I originally subscribed to on my personal user.
That’s exactly what I need. Could you share the script you use?
I finally found the script, sorry for the massive delay.

It’s named “Lemmy Community Seeder” which is probably why I couldn’t find it anywhere, I wasn’t searching for those terms.
I can’t seem to find it in a Google search now so I’ll take a look at my server in case I ran the script there and saved a copy. There appear to be a lot of similar tools now to assist with people moving over from Reddit but this script was really quick and handy.
