Piefed instances now do have a form of this for instance admins to populate new instances.
Admins can:
-pull the lemmyverse data and subscribe to a bunch of communities at once
or
-target a single lemmy or mbin instance, get the list of communities that instance hosts, and subscribe to a bunch of communities on that instance.
Both have some tunable settings to allow admins control over how many communities are followed.
Its not an end-user thing, but it should help with setting up new instances and them not being so ‘empty’.
