Excellent tool. I'll be sure to make use of this.
Could a future iteration do something like use !newcommunities@lemmy.world to automatically boost them or do you think it should be only available on request?
Oh and thanks for flagging your accounts as bots (I just checked the feddit.uk one) - as they don't post, they're unlikely to pop up on people's radars but some people can get a bit twitchy if they aren't correctly identified.
More than that, every community from every instance can be synced but why they didn't do that in first place? Probably because not overloading instances.
Even though I'm partly doing it now, automating it is kinda daunting. I'm sure this tool will change in the future, but I would prefer to collect ideas rather than perform them in the short term :)
I presume so, it means smaller instances don't require databases the size of big ones for communities the majority of which they don't have any interest in.
Between LCB and New Communities it should be enough to get the word out as required.
Yes, there's no rush - it's working well as it is, no need to make it over fancy and degrade the core functionality.
