I wasn't sure how to find the communities I'm interested in, so I quickly hacked together a scraper that makes a list of all the communities(1) of all the servers mine is federating to(2).

You can find it (with a very trivial UI) at directory.fstab.sh. Hover over the link to see the description. Use the search bar to search by text.

Is this something useful or there was a better way to do the same?

  • (1) it does its best to scrape them all but incidents might happen
  • (2) updated nightly

Looks like it might be very helpful on a computer. I never do anything on a computer unless it's absolutely necessary. It might be in this case though. I'd like to check out the Acoustic Guitar community on ml and maybe find out more about bagel transcription.

I could add another screen to show the description on the phone, I guess. It renders and works fine from the phone, but, obviously, the descriptions are lacking.

I can see everything it's just that you can't hover on a phone. It's not a big deal. Nice of you to put this together.
