the next dev, Hey this obscure feature probably doesn’t work, should I fix it… No, I’ll just patch “temporary-fix-don’t-use” and let the next guy fix it properly.
Glad it worked. It looks like its for getting the big stuff while communityboost is designed to help find the small.
From the way I read it, you create a user for the tool so when you submit your instance, it can run on your instance. One of the users chosen at random is here https://discuss.tchncs.de/u/communityboost
You can read a discussion about it here https://pawb.social/post/4136386
I also came across https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs
Edit: Looks like https://sh.itjust.works/u/iso might be the user behind it.
There is a tool I’ve heard about that subscribes to remote communities for federation until a real subscription. https://boost.lemy.lol/
how about jekyll? Lots of customization available.
