r/Lemmy has a single moderator, u/MarcellusDrum.

r/RedditAlternatives has a few:

  • u/ryan_II
  • u/RedditWater7
  • u/RedditLiquid8
  • u/Madbrad200
  • u/Dukkani
  • u/Zakku_Rakusihi

Are any of them active on Lemmy? These subreddits are proving to be key spaces for onboarding new users to Lemmy. Might it be prudent to establish good relationships with these people?

None of them seem to be particularly active in the above communities. It would be nice if they could swap out some of the pinned threads, many of which contain outdated information.

          prob assume hosting costs more than it does, people pay like 50$ a month for a single static html site on proprietary builders, mfs out there pay 100$ a year for ssl renewals still

          If it was on zero upvotes, might it have been removed without human intervention?

          It might be worth resubmitting the post and linking to it from Lemmy/Piefed to help promote it.

              it took 7 hours to remove so it’s a safe bet to say it was manual

              Not necessarily. It could have just taken 7 hours to dip below a positive vote score, triggering the automod.

              We actually did advertise it

              Was this recently? I don’t recall seeing it in the fedibridge community.

              the people who want to be there already are, and people who dislike it still remain

              This is definitely problem, one that I hope this community can help to address!

      If you told me r/RedditAlternatives was operated by Reddit employees it wouldn’t completely shock me. But a more likely explanation for why there is no “Fedi consensus” there is that because Lemmy/Piefed is the best option, the people who try it out are more likely to actually leave Reddit.

      In short, there are people trying to “make Discuit happen” because unlike Lemmy it’s well, not happening.
