Subreddit replacement directory

reddit migration / subreddit replacement directory

I saw this posted to Hacker News just now. Looks like it might be the start of something useful. I assume that one can suggest additions (or other edits) by emailing the curator using the address on the upper right of the page.

I’m sure it was probably an accident but sending r/StarWars to the Star Trek Lemmy community feels like a massive troll.
- I think Saruman really said it best: "Make the force be with you!"
  
  I beg your pardon sir but that just wouldn't be proper.
I wish the site was open-source so I could just submit pull requests to add new ones, rather than emailing the creator (they might get overwhelmed by too many emails, multiple people may suggest the same thing, etc...)
- Sounds great to me, but I'm not sure how many average people would be willing to learn to use git and get an account at the repo host just to submit update suggestions. It would be nice if the site owner had some documentation up explaining their plans, if any, for how this will operate in the longer term.
This was more useful list, and certainly a better populated one.

This list at the moment is pretty abysmal at less than 10 entries. There was a far more complete list I saw a couple of days ago. Had at least 100 subreddit alternatives.
- Did you save it, by any chance?

  This was the list I was thinking of

If it's not obvious, the referenced site is https://redditmigration.com .
Site seems to be down for me

  Ah I see, seems to be WIP then. If done right it could be a good tool, we'll see if anything comes out it I guess
  
  Be fair, there's also the NSFW side.
Looks nice but very limited right now. Both beehaw and lemmy.world are featured but they are now defedrated (unfortunately).
For some of these communities there are alternatives on other instances, which are not mainlined.
- Are they completely defederated from the entire fediverse or just from each other?
  
  Beehaw is defederatdd from over 300 instances. It should not be offered as an alternative, and instead, grow those communities in more open servers
  
  I think it's just beehaw defederating from world and sh.itjust.works , and it's only one way (so both of those can see beehaw content, just not the other way around). But maybe that's since changed, I'm not sure.
