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.

Info:

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.

    It’s better to have this happen organically

    Of course, but organic moves seem to be done at this point.

      Agreed, so you’re welcome to take initiative! More just don’t send a boilerplate message around everywhere :)

      I appreciate that you’re working on building things up. That’s how we make the fediverse better for everyone
