Piefed loads the data from Lemmyverse: piefed.social/post/531611

One important thing about Lemmyverse is that you can search for communities your instance isn’t “aware of” yet. Seeing the “Add remote community” button, I guess this is something that’s not possible with Piefed’s community search?

This post only says that the Lemmyverse data “is used to suggest search results to people when adding a remote community.” Is this data also included in the communities page?
Another thought about the linked post: Removing inactive communities from the Lemmyverse data is certainly a good thing for stuff like “technology”, “memes”, “news” etc., but if you’re looking for a community about a very niche topic you might even be interested in an inactive community without active alternatives to perhaps “revive” it with your posts.

I’ll have to ping @rimu@piefed.social for your first question.
About your other paragraph, not sure what the inactive threshold is, but yeah, that could be useful.

The other day I made a feature which automatically adds every community posted to newcommunities@lemmy.world. And another feature that automatically posts to that comm whenever a local community is created.
