The problem is that you can't have spaces or capitals. The error message isn't very useful, it tells you to match the requested format but doesn't tell you the format that's being requested.

I have it set up so that a bot user is subscribing, not my user. That way the communities are populated with comments and appear in All if I'm interested in the future, but otherwise I wouldn't see them. It makes my instance feel much more alive.

Also, it's worth noting that you can provide a list of the Lemmy instances in the config. You can be as obscure as you like here.

I think the job of seeking out smaller, more niche communities has to be a manual one.

Hey, you can do it by using this notation:

community_id = lemmy.discover_community('firefox@lemmy.ml')

If it helps, this is what you see in the URL when you visit a non-local community.

Memmy is really good. The TestFlight is full but it’s about to get released on the App Store

wefwef is a web app and it’s also really good. You can install it to your home screen and you’d never know it wasn’t a native app.

Mlem has potential but so far it’s got a bit of work to do to catch up to the above two.

I’m running a very small instance and I highly recommend using LCS:

https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs

Essentially it automatically subscribes to popular communities from other instances on behalf of a user within your instance. That way, when you want to subscribe to a community at some point, it’s quite likely that it will already be full of comments already.
