fediverser

I'm working on a project that is meant to provide a migration path for people like you: https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser. The idea is that Lemmy instance admins can use this service alongside their Lemmy server to provide two things: - "Login with Reddit", to make it easier for people to create an account on the Lemmy server. - A reddit-to-lemmy community map. The idea is that when someone logs with Reddit OAuth, we can get their list of subreddits, and then auto-subscribe the user to the corresponding Lemmy communities, solving the onboarding issue and the content discovery in one go. There is also a website, https://fediverser.network, where I'm crowdsourcing the data to make the mapping between subreddits to lemmy communities.

The developer from bird.makeup is asking for donations of account tokens: https://www.patreon.com/posts/call-for-special-98167212 I'm also thinking about adding twscrape support to my https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser and extend its mirrors to Mastodon servers, but to be honest I can not afford (money- and time-wise) to get into yet-another project without some minimal financial support.

It has been far from a stalemate. Reddit has won this battle, but the war is not over. Saying that as someone been dedicating full-time since September to a project to help people migrate from Reddit to Lemmy [0], the truth is that there is simply no alternative yet for all the niche communities that are established there. About a month ago, I posted here [1] about my project to try to make it easier to sign up and automatically discover/subscribe the Lemmy communities [2], but I wasn't expecting to have such a long tail of communities that need to be mapped out. The ~150 users that signed up to alien.top led to a discovery of about 6000 different subreddits. I was doing the work of curation and creating alternative communities by hand, but I realized that was going to be an endless task. This is why I started working on a crowdsourced so

I see https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser/issues/9 but I would be much more likely to use it if the oauth2 dance didn't ask for aggressive perms versus a "ask for all the perms then revoke them later"

This is my attempt at helping those who are trying to ditch reddit but have not been satisfied with the content from Lemmy or haven't been able to find the corresponding communities. There are two sides to this project. The first one is that I have setup a Lemmy instance (alien.top) which is mirroring some of the reddit content from subreddits that I wanted to follow with the comments. The difference from most mirroring bots is that, instead of one single bot account mirroring all content, the system creates one account for each reddit user that is being mirrored. The other part of this idea which I believe is more interesting: reddit users can take over their own mirrored bot account on this Lemmy instance. The instance itself does not use the regular registration process, but instead authenticates via Reddit OAuth. If you login through

This coming week I'm planning to work on the part that lets you connect your reddit account to a respective Lemmy instance and migrate your posts. Would you like to try it out?
