Easier community discovery - PieFed knows all the communities already (join.piefed.social)

Finding communities to join can be hard because each fediverse server only knows about a community after someone has joined it before. It's a chicken and egg problem. To solve this, PieFed comes with eggs included!

Techy details: a local copy of https://data.lemmyverse.net/data/community.full.json is regularly updated, inactive and nsfw communities removed and then the resulting shortlist is used to suggest search results to people when adding a remote community.

Check out the video for a quick demo.

Massive props to @JollyDevelopment@piefed.social for their work on this feature!

Ah yes, those I remember! That's what made me look into piefed again recently actually!

I think you can join Piefed dev team or suggest some ideas. Maybe you are busy and it is not the right time. But you are welcome. :)

CErtainly not before June :-( I am in too many projects and they start all showing cracks because I lack discipline. You won't make me fall for a new one! ;-) (yet)

Then takes it slow, and focus on what you have to do. :)
