Hey, I made a simple webapp, that shows you a random community with basic stats, description and top 10 posts of all time from this community.

You can use it without logging in, but for automatic following, the login is required.

All data is stored in your browser and code is open source.

Some info and issues of the app:

  1. I made it in a day, so bugs may and will happen
  2. It uses a json list of communities from browse.feddit.de
  3. It ignores all NSFW communities. I'm planning on adding a switch for that, but if you really want, you can change nsfwFilter property in local storage through devtools. all is for everything, none is for no NSFW and only is for only NSFW communities.
  4. Sometimes it fails to follow a community. Maybe it's because community is not yet "synced" to the instance you logged in from. Don't know much about exact reason, because I'm new to lemmy from the tech side.
  5. There is also a planned feature to exclude whole instances. Currently only possible with editing local storage.

Yeah, this is exactly it. Though I think it can be worked around/automated. This tool did it: https://github.com/jheidecker/lemmony
