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.

    Why don’t you just create your own Lemmy community?

    Reddit has already proven that they won’t let you just close down a sub. You can’t “move over” your sub.

    I wish people would stop going there but they don’t have the spine.

      It doesn’t appear that reddit is preventing subreddits from creating ans advertising lemmy alternatives. They don’t have to close down.
