Every community has their feeds listed in the sidebar. That is actually how the bot is controlled. It looks up communities, scrapes any RSS feeds in the sidebar and then posts any unseen links to the community.

Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner next to your notifications. Make sure you are searching for “All”. There appears to be some sort of bug where if you search for communities that it won’t return anything. If you search “All” it’ll find the community. Make sure to put in the actual name of the community you’re wanting to find in this format: !community@server.url. You wan’t to put in the actual community name, not the friendly name. In this example I’m searching for Youtube News (yt_news) on Lemmy.link.

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll get them added to my todo list.

Apologize if I ran afoul of any code-of-conduct. Haven’t used the cross-post before and I wasn’t sure if it would work across instances.

Since the posts are to my Lemmy.link server, all of the posts and comments will be on my server. The mod work will be on me to maintain.

That’s the goal! If we can get enough subscribers to the communities the upvotes will cause the cream to rise to the top.

It makes me smile to see so many "fuck yes"s. Glad everyone is as excited as I was to launch it.

I’m still debating allowing signups on my instance. That wasn’t really the goal of this project and managing a Lemmy instance with a sizable user base isn’t something I had in the scope of the project. More than likely it’ll stay how it is, but I don’t want to say I’ll never allow signups.

I’ve seen a lot of chatter about meta-communities to solve the fragmentation issue. Hopefully that is something the devs have on their roadmap. Think there are still a lot of bugs and performance issues they need to work out first.

The few communities I have built were just the big ones I could think of to get to launch. I’m more than happy to build out new communities or add/change/remove feeds as people have feedback.

Fuck yes!

That appears to be an Android error. Might be a bug in the app or Lemmy instance you’re on.

That’s just due to me adding the Crypto community at someone’s request. It just backfilled all of the old articles. You can also just not subscribe to the crypto community if you don’t want to see those posts.

You’ll need to search for the community. If you can’t find it you can sometimes force your local lemmy instance to sync by going to yourlemmyinstance.com/c/space@lemmy.link
