Moving to the fediverse

Hi guys, are you familiar with the fediverse? It's an open-source reddit-alternative that is owned and run by no one. So it doesn't suffer from the threat of a single hostile entity making drastic, unwanted changes, as we recently saw with reddit, resulting in the side-wide protests.

It would be great to have your subreddit join the fediverse! If you do, I would suggest not using lemmy.world, as it's already the largest instance and it's better to spread things out so no one has too much control.

Awesome Lemmy Instances has a list where you can see how many instances block/are blocked by each other https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances. This can help you pick an instance to create your community on.
https://join-lemmy.org/instances - Click on an instance, and look at the right sidebar. It will list local rules of the instance. You can also browse the "local" feed to see what kind of communities live on that specific server.

You can even create your own instance like /r/futurology and /r/piracy did https://futurology.today, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com. If you do, you may want to seed your community with content https://futurology.today/post/166237.

Once you make a community on Lemmy you could sticky a post in your sub to let your community know, and/or create an automod sticky in each thread.

I would move an entire group of fighting games reddits over here but there's no automoderator or mod toolbox equivalent. Until lemmy gets that basic functionality it's moot to try and moderate anything at a high level

Honestly? Please try it. First I think you will not have as many problems because the platform is much smaller than Reddit so it won't be as targeted as some popular Reddit subs are. Second, I think I can help developing the tools you need but it gets a lot easier to do so when working with an actual use case in mind.
