Youtuber Johnny-come-lately gets way too much attention.

With shell scripts, I’m not sure.

With Python scripts, you want argcomplete.

Ah right gotcha. So like if someone is on an instance where nobody follows a foreign community and browses All, they won’t see a new post from that community.

Makes sense.

Thanks!

Really useful. Thanks!

I’m a bit confused by what that tool says though:

By default, communities on Lemmy/Mbin are not federated due to the inherent limitations of ActivityPub.

When you create a new community, it will only be available to your instance. To make it accessible to other instances, at least one user from each remote instance must follow it.

This tool automates this process by following your community from all remote instances until it gains at least one real-user follower.

And yet when I go to any instance’s webpage and look for any community - even a brand new one - I find it. So is the tool referring to something else?

I do know that if no lemmy.ml users are currently joined in those groups then they won’t update

Oh wow that’s super weird. I didn’t know that.

Your joining seems to have triggered the update.

Good to know, this. Thanks!

As a Linux user of almost 30 years, compiling hundreds of kernels over the years has given me a great appreciation of pre-build kernels, and a profound gratitude for those who package them up into convenient distros that work out of the box and let me get on with the rest of my life.
