The code is open source, the build process is open on GitHub actions and it’s hosted on GitHub pages so you also see compiled site easily. The password never leaves your browser apart from going to the instance you chose when logging in. The password also is not saved, only the access token.
I tried my best at making it as transparent as possible.
I wanted to focus a single community at once and make a sneak peak of it all which is some numbers, description and top 10 posts. This way it’s less likely to accidentally skip some cool community. Also this shows you random ones and not some type of list so you’re exposed to more niche ones.
Anyways I think lemmyverse is also cool, just a different approach to discovery of new communities.
Ugh damn autocorrect
Sorry, I never tested it with Kevin. I suspect the API is somewhat different from lemmy
Since for some people, the edit didn’t work.

Probably the edit somehow didn’t work for you (I forgot to post the link initially, but added it after like 2 minutes).

I just pushed an update. If you log in, it will fetch defederated instances from your instance as well as communities you already follow and hide them.
The link is in the post after the first sentence
I used the list from browse.feddit.de. I didn’t know it includes defederated ones. I’ll try to exclude these.
I’d love to do that, but that would require me having info on all users’ followed communities. Then I could cluster communities based on shared subscribed users and actually recommend communities. Basically if user A follows X, Y and Z, user B follows X, Y and Z and you follow X, then you might be interested in Y and Z.
Or some simple alternative would be to tag communities, but again someone would have to do it.
Just pushed an update, that will hide all communities with less than 11 posts. I will make it configurable later.
To see changes, force refresh the site.
Just added TOTP support in https://github.com/stirante/lemmy-discover/commit/e590c6a5cff366060e3fb6202031442b8bfe7fc8
