Be the change you want to see in the world, that’s what mom always used to say. So here’s a list of all the Local communities from the top 13 Lemmy instances by user count as per https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
For now its just a copy+paste from the communities listing page of each instance https://lemmy.ca/communities/listing_type/Local/page/1 … I think today’s programming challenge might be a script to scrape that and in the future we’ll poke at Lemmy’s API to see if we can’t snarf a community list automagically. (if you have any ideas let me know)
edit: changed from dropbox to google drive. Let me know if there are viewing problems - other than having to go to (ugh) google drive.
edit2: permissions, ugh. Should be universally accessible now.
I’m sure it is. I spent my Sunday working on a script to scrape the community directories directly from an instance’s community listing but got bogged down in HTML parsing regex hell. If I don’t make progress by Saturday Ill manually compile another list. Best I can do atm.
