If you do this, you will need some extra space because the database will grow, but I think it solves one of the (largest) downsides of running your own instance, namely discovering other communities.
When you decide to set it up, you need to create a user on your instance and fill in those details in the command line to run the thing. Also make sure to change the instance name to your name, otherwise it will not work.
Other useful commands:
docker rm --force lemmy-subscriber-bot
To actually destroy the docker container if you want to start over
docker logs lemmy-subscriber-bot
To see if the thing is running and doing things.
Welcome to the club! I used the same easy deploy setup as you! Makes life really easy eh :)
Furthermore, to populate All, I have this one running: https://github.com/lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot

Do you know how much disk space this will roughly use? Are we talking 10GB or 100GB or 1TB? Just roughly speaking.
Mine went from 8 gb to 20-ish gb. So not that much ;)
Thank you for the info. I set my instance up yesterday as well and my goal today was to do this.
Just so you know, this also creates more load on other instances, especially the larger ones.
