I don't really think so, but i'm open to working with anyone if they see this happening, up to deleting the entire project.

It retrieves the last 10 posts and adds the community reference to your local database. It is the same as putting "!community@instance.com" in the search box and clicking search. The retrieval happens whether you look at the results or not.

When I discovered, I felt bad for not checking. As for the load stuff. I intended and wanted to see All the things, and I don't currently have resource problems for my instance. :) We'll see how that fairs as things continue to grow!

My dude, I appreciate your spirit, but we're not going to focus on your irrational fear of abuse. I'll defend myself for being accused of any such thing, or for being irresponsible. This is intended to make things better, and there's no evidence it's doing anything other than that.

If you want to contribute, by all means, show us where there is a problem, other than in your imagination, and it will be seriously considered. Until then, your opinion is still valuable, but you are speaking with authority about something you know little of.

I'm happy to help or take PRs for lemmony. There is also https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs which I didn't know about until well into lemmony.

So if I’m understanding this right, the bot account you create for this is the one subscribing to every community, so it’s known to the local system, right?

Yes

As long as I’m not mixing up my main account and my bot account, there should be no observable change on my own account?

Correct, I have it functioning this way and it works great.

How is storage affected on this? If the bot account is subscribing to a number of communities across the fediverse, all that remote content is going to take up quite a bit of space, no?

It does and it will continue to grow. This not not something the tool takes care of, not cleaning up anything old or stale. Space management and "unfollow" is on the roadmap! Currently I can only speak for myself and it is EVERYTHING and it is about 0.25 GB / day of database, and 6-10 GB / day of images.

And will 2FA be supported at any point?

Not on the roadmap. I don't know how api calls in general work with 2fa since I have not tested or enabled it on my instance. :( Sorry.

EDIT: Changed database/pictures ratio after double checking actual numbers and not looking at used filesystem. :(

Not really. If it worked before, it should work the same, just has more options for control and granularity.

I think it depends on your instance. This version (same script, just updated) allows for more options IF your instance IS mass Overloaded, or you are scared it will be.

Sorry, by comparing now to what; or was as that a superfluous "now," like "come on now?"

Here here! Good work gentleman! Let's go the partner's villa and celebrate with cigars and brandy!

I don't. I haven't looked yet either because I haven't crossed that bridge. I think there were some admins on matrix chatting about it though. It will become an issue for large instances like near term, so I suspect someone will tackle it very soon, if they haven't already.
