MODERATORS
 

So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.

I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.

Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.

Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.

I really wish more people had taken on the "Community Ambassador" work that I've done for https://fediverser.network/. It could be really helpful in creating a focal point for everyone that wanted to help the migration of people interested in a specific niche.

Where can I read more about this? I'm not getting far with the link 🫤

  • Sign up to Fediverser
  • Search for communities for your interests.
  • The community should be associated with a subreddit. If it's not, you can make a suggestion for the change.
  • Apply to become a Community Ambassador. I'll approve it. Once you are approved, you will be able to do the following:
    • See the posts from the subreddit that is associated to the community.
    • Send DMs to people on Reddit, inviting them to join Lemmy and your community
    • Add other sources of contents (RSS feeds)

There were more things that I had planned, such as the ability to do one-click repost of interesting links, but I didn't get to it because that would mean effectively that I would have to turn the fediverser site into a an alternative Lemmy frontend.
