Redditors migration is impossible if they're recommended hundreds of alternatives (see link) (lemmy.world)

Seeing sticky posts on r/RedditAlternatives like https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/

I don't see how anything can be coordinated when so many options are presented in a confusing way.

Of course, they don't have to choose Lemmy / kbin instances, but I'm worried that a lot of people will stay on Reddit given the inability to properly communicate alternatives.

(Bonus: most platforms listed here ( https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/yttdlc/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_v8/ ) are terrible and Lemmy is relegated to the "less active" section; furthermore only lemmy.ml is listed, instead of https://join-lemmy.org for example)

Bluesky is invite-only and nothing like Reddit.

And while Lemmy and Kbin are mentioned quite a bit in some places, they don't seem to be well discussed yet, to say the least.

I get really annoyed about the acrid pushback because of Lemmy's creators, and I usually deflect to unaffiliated server hosts or if it's really strong, mention kbin since we all connect freely.

It's just so important to me that the migration goes to a federated platform and not another central one.

I'm looking for a more central platform myself, I don't like how federation unnecessarily complicates things and i especially don't like the drama between instances

Tildes is pretty good in that regard. Though you can't create groups (= subreddits) yourself iirc. I tried switching to there but I actuallly find Lemmy more convincing and fitting to my own use of Reddit.
