It’s 50 communities per page. It gets every community from every instance linked by one of the instances in the list. So just linking some instance to lemmy.ml or lemmy.world will eventually make it show up in this database.

Ah no worries. That’s the kind of thing you can fix by just adjusting CSS. Learning a bit of CSS is really useful for that reason.

I had a quick look, and one easy way to do what you want is using an extension like Stylus, and then creating a new style with this CSS:

@-moz-document domain("lemmy.world") {
    #sidebarContainer {
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column-reverse;
    }
}

Just keep in mind that there’s a good chance this will stop working if the Lemmy frontend updates.

Could you expand on that? What do you mean by communities on the main page? I want to provide different ways to sort the communities.

Also, feel free to open issues on GitHub with suggestions and bug reports.

This is where the data comes from: https://github.com/Raicuparta/lemmy-community-crawler There’s currently no way to add missing communities manually, but I’ll add it to the todo list. But of course if you link any instance to one of the instances that this database crawls, eventually it will show up in the list.

woops, lemme fix that
