Slowly exploring the lemmy ecosystem, since I don't want to use reddit, and was wondering if selfhosting would be a good idea?

Absolutely, there are two tools I use to do so.

  1. Lemmy Community Seeder - Very customizable tool that by default grabs the top 50 posts in the top 50 communities of the specified instances every few hours.

  2. Lemmony - Less customizable tool that by default grabs pretty much everything. Probably less ideal for larger or more active instances, but my instance has 5 or 6 users, only a couple of which are active, so this tool has been awesome for populating my "All" feed.

I recommend creating a non-admin bot account and using that for these tools.

Badass thanks for this. I've enjoyed kinda keeping my instance more catered but starting to want to at least have more available and just subscribe to the stuff I want to see regularly.
