So, I’ve started my own Lemmy instance. The main issue is that right now, I am the only user, which makes it pretty easy for anyone to see what kinds of communities I visited, or am subscribed to. Is there any way to automate creation of some amount of accounts, and subscribing to random communities?
If your concern is about your instance’s publicly visible /instances list, can’t you just make it private? Or even make the entire web interface private? You’re the boss, after all.
I’m afraid making your instance private disables federation.
As for making the web interface private, while it would prevent the average Joe from seeing federated communities, you could still do it through the API, which you have to keep public if you want to use alternative and mobile clients without a VPN.

Why not just manipulate the API before it is delivered then?
