Let me start by thanking everyone that has joined https://fediverser.network and the ones who are already helping to categorize and create a map between subreddits and the recommended Lemmy alternatives. Y'all are amazing and I hope we can keep it up.

To keep in mind that the main goal of this whole project is to help people on reddit to migrate quickly and effortlessly to Lemmy, I was thinking on what could be done once we have the majority of the niche subreddits mapped out. I thought about the idea of creating "Community Ambassadors", which would be basically people interested in "turning" other redditors from their specific communities to Lemmy.

Basically that would require you to signup to Fediverser to indicate what community you are focusing on and how many people you are willing to reach out per day. The system could then collect the top posts of that subreddit every day and let you trigger a (custom, personalized) DM to the people telling them about the alternative Lemmy community that exists with a link to alien.top's portal to make one-click migration.

I am so sick of the constant and insistent "How can we male this place just like reddot!?!?!" posts. Have you considered that people are here because they chose to leave R?

Just no.

If you want R, go back to R.

The idea is "how can we make the individual communities more like the interesting and vibrant communities that exist there". There is no one single "reddit" to begin with. The main thing that made Reddit so appealing in the first place is that the people could make of it whatever they wanted, by choosing what subreddits to subscribe and participate.

Reddit's problem is in its centralized control over this long tail of communities. Just that. If the subreddits could be left alone to their own management, no one would be talking about "leaving reddit" but would just talk about smaller issues on the subreddits.

That's all just your own personal preference and conjecture. Stop trying to force that on others.

Go check the amount of people on /r/redditalternatives that are saying the exact same thing.

Stop trying to force that on others.

Stop being an elitist jerk who thinks are better than the plebs. What makes you think you are so special that only you deserve to have a social media experience that is not controlled by Big Tech?
