No, what I mean is replace what is on Discord by Matrix, and whatever is on Reddit with Lemmy.
If the mods are well liked and act in the interest of their users, even better. I'd be willing to support them with whatever they need in terms of technical support and how to migrate a whole community.
So the change to Discord was more of a practical one than any fundamental disagreement with the Fediverse alternatives.
In the case of Discord, perhaps a Matrix space (analogous to Discord servers) could be created instead ?
they actually are one of the communities that held a vote, and they voted to stay on Reddit rather than migrate to Lemmy.
That's interesting. Can you link me to this discussion or poll? Reddit search, as usual, is not showing much.
Ok, so I created !toonami@metacritics.zone. Follow-up questions:
If I may ask, what subreddit is that, and how big it is?
Even with "all the fuck ups from Twitter", their traffic is down only 4-5%.
It's going to take a lot more than just waiting for them to fuck up. Network effects are real and the big companies spent the last 18 years making sure that they built enough moat around their fiefdoms.
Protests are not enough. "Strikes" were the leaders announce beforehand how long they will paralyze is not enough. Depending on moderators who are more worried about losing their status with their masters is not enough.
We need to treat this as a fight. Get all the tooling that can be used to make as easy as possible to migrate and ensure that people can get their dose of dopamine away from Reddit. Then things will start looking better.
I'm aware of it and it's quite likely what I am going to be using. Have you any experience with it?
My main challenge at the moment is that I didn't find a good architecture to scale stateful services horizontally on Docker Swarm. I've been happy with everything else, except this. I can scale my object storage by just adding new nodes to minio storage pools, I can provision new services fine and ansible + portainer has been enough for me on my CD pipeline.
The one thing that is still a bit fragile on my setup is that any volumes for services like a database or elasticsearch end up tied to the server, and there is no good solution to make HA for them. I tried glusterFS but quickly learned that it can corrupt a database if your service gets rescheduled to a different server and it restarts before the replication is complete.
I think that what I am looking for is something like a Ceph cluster and just use that a proper driver for it, but unfortunately I didn't find any docker plugin that is well-maintained for that. This is the only reason that I'm looking into kubernetes at all.
I know that is a big ask, but would you be interested in helping bootstrapping these communities here? I recently created https://healthy.community/c/mindfulness and https://sfw.community/c/foodporn as part of my fediverser project, but these are not communities that I am not personally invested in. It would be a lot better if someone already helped to shape its general direction.
A post from 5 months ago will have more outdated data than useful information. redditmigration and sub.rehab are pretty much abandoned as well.
browse.feddit.de, lemmyverse.net (if you want to see everything up-to-date), and fediverser.network (if you are coming from reddit) are the only ones AFAIK that are actively maintained.
Why not send the messages/instructions as a PM as well?
So every user that decides to get notified will add a comment to the thread?
If 100 people trigger it, 100 comments will be the exact same response?
Also, if people end up "deleting the comment to keep the thread clean", will they get purged as well?
This is not about "my services", this is about getting people to migrate away from walled gardens like Reddit and Discord. People are more likely to act if they hear from someone closer to them, don't you think?
