Because Reddit has fully turned to the dark side lol. It’s been trending downhill for a while now but with the recent API shenanigans it became very clear it wasn’t going to improve. So here I am lol. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve had to find an alt (RIP Digg).
Same, plus curiosity and enthusiasm for FOSS.
Can’t wait until fediverse is developed enough to host also niche communities like ‘cassette_futurism’ or ‘liminal_space’.
Might as well ask here since it’s relevant, but I’ve been thinking of spinning up a beefy lemmy instance and “mirroring” some of my favourite reddit subs across into custom mirror communities. A kind of archive but which you can browse from any lemmy UI. For example, there are some news and sports threads I enjoy following. Would this be a good or bad idea? Would it needlessly flood the other instances?

There is a https://lemmy.ml/c/liminalspace community.
Yesss! Now I need to look for poolrooms and vaporwave /synthwave / chillwave type comms.
Seems like those communities are unmoderated, including the [email protected] one. lmk if you’d like to take any of them over.
Be the change you want to see :)
Even just creating those communities, then populating them with a few of the top posts from reddit, would be a good start.

Thought about the same thing. How and can it be automated? Would give Lemmy a good starting point.
Obviously coded for a different political reason than what I have in mind (to put it mildly), but I found this which might help: https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter
