I've posted before about my fediverser project, and I am now looking to see who is interested in participating.

The short description is that it does the following:

  • it runs a lemmy instance which will be the home of bots that mirror accounts on reddit.
  • The admin of this instance can choose what subreddits are going to be monitored from this instance. Let's say that these are the "source" communities.
  • For these selected subreddits, the admin can define where the posts from these subreddits should be posted in the other lemmy instances. We can, e.g, map posts from /r/selfhosted to !main@selfhosted.forum or !selfhosted@lemmy.world .
  • You can choose whether to mirror the posts only or the whole thread with comments from reddit. Each of these will be authored by the account that mirrors the original reddit user.
  • (WIP, optional) responses to the reddit mirror accounts will create a comment on reddit with a link to original lemmy thread.

So, now I finally got to deploy the first lemmy fediversed instance, and I'd like to know the following:

  • which subreddits you still follow but would like to bring to the fediverse?
  • For instance admins and community mods, what communities you would like to be the destination of the mirror posts, and would you be interested in having the posts only or the whole thread?

Bear in mind that this is NOT advised to be done for the bigger subs. The idea here is not to create a huge army of bots and overwhelm the fediverse, but mostly to create a migration path to those who rely on the more niche subreddits.

I like it, seems like a good way to get to critical mass on the small subs here. Can't really offer any help, but good luck and thanks!

Subreddits id like to have mirrored with discussions so i dont have to visit reddit anymore.

/gakinotsukai /90dayfiance /pathofexile /linux /fcbayern /diablo /diablo2 /diablo2resurrected /diablo4 /hextcg

Great, thank you so much for the suggestions! Question now is, where should I point them to?

I can have /r/linux at communick.news, and the football ones I can gladly send to soccer.forum. What about the gaming ones?

[–] Temperche@feddit.de -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

@feddit.de if possible :) There is also @pathofexile-discuss.com for poe

[–] rglullis@communick.news -1 points 9 months ago (15 children)

Again, please notice that I'm only going to mirror anything on Lemmy if the community mods give explicit approval. Could you please post on the lemmy community to see if you can gather more support?

[–] Temperche@feddit.de -1 points 9 months ago

Which communities specifically? poe-discuss is dead, nobody answers anything anymore. feddit.de is not a community. The reddit communities block lemmy mentions.

i've now asked the feddit.de admin directly to comment here.
