I really welcome spreading the word and mentioning Lemmy over there. But I don't think a sole backup community is what we want. We have lots if them on lemmit.online and zerobytes.monster. But nobody likes Redsit content just being dumped here with zero engagement. We need active discussions, original posts and some person on the other side to talk to. Not more bots on the platform. So I'd always advocate for creating alternative communities, filling them with people and skipping the bot part...
Yes. I rarely see that these days. I mean I haven't been active on Reddit for a long time, so I wouldn't know. But I can't remember any coordinated efforts of entire communities since the Spez API thing. The Fediverse is ready to welcome them, once they decide to switch. But I guess even if it doesn't happen for communities as a whole, we still reach some individuals with these advertisements.
