Lists the repo-backed communities the requesting user belongs to that have not been migrated onto spaces yet, so a client can offer them as a choice rather than asking for a handle. The AppView reads this live from the user's own public repo and each candidate's public repo, because nothing about an unmigrated community is indexed. Only a community that holds its own DID is listed: an older community that lived in its owner's repo cannot be migrated.
Parameters
Output
application/jsoncommunities
array
Required
Unmigrated legacy communities, in the user's preferred sidebar order where the legacy repo recorded one. This is not paginated: a user's community list is small and every entry costs a live read.
unreadable
array
Optional
Communities named by the user's repo whose own repo could not be read, so the client can say so instead of silently dropping them.
Errors
AuthRequired
The request is missing, malformed, or unverifiable service auth. UpstreamFailure
The requesting user's own PDS could not be read, so no candidate list could be built at all. Try It
