It would be cool if I could tell it which instance I’m on and then have it change the links to the Lemmy communities so that they are being accessed from my instance. This makes it much easier to interact and subscribe.
Confusion. Is there some way to suggest communities without logging in with a Reddit account? Lots of people deleted their Reddit accounts…
Also I checked out the recommended alternative for my NFL team and it seems to be some kind of weird bot community populated entirely by bots…this might need some moderation.
The bots are all mirrors from reddit accounts and are all an integral part of the fediverser project. The idea is to let the users on reddit to take over “their” bot accounts and make them organic. This overall map will let them be automatically subscribed to all the subreddits they used to follow.
So, even if the community seems only filled with bots, please hang in there. We need as many “real users” there to have network effects going.
Oh wow, that is extremely important info missing from the post. So it’s a list of “recommended alternatives” for subreddits, except deliberately populated with bots instead of recommending the places where real people are?
I’m sure there’s a use-case for this that I just can’t see, but it should probably be communicated better because your description (comparing this to sub.rehab etc) definitely suggests these are real communities and that’s pretty misleading.
No. The list of recommendations will not be exclusive to mirrored subreddits. It’s just what I started with because this initial list is what I’ve been building for alien.top.
The idea of crowdsourcing it is exactly to have multiple alternatives, but to keep the fediverser ones for those migrating from reddit.
I can only suggest 1 community for each subreddit? for r/horrormovies I was gonna suggest !horror and !horrormovies
edit: nvm, going back to the main list page allows me to recommend more
although I still can’t seem to suggest more alternatives for the ones that were already accepted, like for games and gaming, I think !games and !games are better than the suggestions currently in there
Great tool that should make migrating from Reddit smoother. I submitted quite a bit to the other sites but stopped when the updates dried up.
I am curious as to the criteria you use when displaying a list of my subscribed subs as it’s not complete but some of the subs not included are larger than some that are.
When you log in via reddit, we should be able to get the list of all (non-user) subreddits that you are a subscriber. You can then filter the results by mapped (i.e, there is already at least one recommendation) and subscribed to take a look at only the subreddits you follow and presumably can help.
Yeah, the interface is still confusing. Community proposals are meant to collect information about subreddits that do not have any alternative. I am still working on the form to let people simply point to a community that already exist.
