The original projects meant to help finding out the Lemmy communities sub.rehab and redditmigration were not really kept up-to-date after the first wave of protests. To avoid bitrot and to make sure that the community can help keep this up to date, I’m launching today fediverser.network.

At the moment, it is a simple browser of subreddits and lists of recommended alternatives. It can also let users sign-in with their reddit credentials so that they can get a list of the mapped communities specific to their subscriptions.

There is a lot more to be done, as I want to use this tool to help me map out all the niche communities that are missing on Lemmy and eventually have a 1:1 map for those that want to leave reddit entirely.

    How does the propose alternative community thing work? It looks like I’m making a new community rather than linking to an existing one

      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.
