Let's build those same subreddits but free and on the Fediverse. Let's see if they move here.

I mean, it's probably for onlyfans-ish porn. So probably they won't want to move here.
They could, but as it currently stands media hosting on the fediverse.... Sucks.
It's obscenely expensive for everyone involved, and scales poorly. It's just not ready to operate at scale at this point.
I'm sure it will get better, but large storage costs are better off being handled by a distributed file-system where a minimal level of duplication is baked in, but the storage load is reasonably spread out instead of fully duplicated on each peer.
There are technologies for this, but they all have their own issues. And tomorrow there will be n+1 distributed filesystems, fragmenting it further.
Is there a list of the most active subreddits which don't yet have a threadiverse counterpart?

Might be an interesting project for Fediverser or [email protected]. Start with the most popular subreddit, create a Lemmy community on an appropriate instance, find mods and contributers (????, profit). Repeat with the next most popular subreddit.
I added 6 mapping for popular subs.
Thanks for the list!
Thanks! I finally took the plunge to investigate Fediverser, and it seems like a really cool project.
I went through a bunch of my Reddit subscriptions and recommended a bunch of analogous communities.
One possible bug I found was in the filters. If I set "subscribed" to "yes" and clicked "apply filters" I got no results. Is this expected behaviour?
Thank you! It was nice to wake up this morning and see like 3 different people adding a bunch of changes to the database.
You are right about the bug. It seems that depending in some cases the list of subscriptions is not pulled.
I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says "Recommended Subreddit" and not "Recommended Community".
Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended ~~Subreddit~~ Community, or if it'll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).
You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm pushing now the fix for the typo. I will take a look at the issue with casing now.
You might want to put where we can communicate with you somewhere. I was looking around on the site for a Contact Me form and did a few searches to find the source code online so I could make an issue (think "site:github.com fediverser") and didn't find you. I'm lucky you were here today.
The project site is https://fediverser.io. ;)
One last thing: how do I add stuff like whether the community is 18+? And I categorized a Reddit subreddit but the corresponding Fediverse community remains uncategorized. How do I fix that?
how do I add stuff like whether the community is 18+?
The over18 information is something that comes from Reddit and/or Lemmy directly. This is why there is no option for users to add this.
And I categorized a Reddit subreddit but the corresponding Fediverse community remains uncategorized.
The categorization is independent, so if you want to categorize the community you need to go its page. But you do have a point, perhaps I can set things up in a way to auto-assign the same category when the alternative is already accepted.

I just feel like The Joker in The Dark Knight reading this. The scene where Batman is driving his motorcycle straight at The Joker, and The Joker isn't flinching. They're playing chicken.
Reading this headline I'm like "do it....do it.......c'mon do it, you coward......C'MON!!!! DO IT!!!!"
Because I know that if he DOES try that, it'll be just as big of an exodus as Twitter had when bargin bin Lex Luther bought it.
Do it. C'mon, do it you coward!!!
They are going to pay those mods, right? Right?
LOL next it'll be you need a Premium Member Subscription to be a mod.
Other than OF-style content, what exactly are they planning to paywall?
Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?
So basically anything goes in terms of content...
EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).
I'm sharing the screenshot posted to Reddit, I haven't seen the article. You can follow the link to the Reddit thread.

That's a satire article
OF content would be a massive money maker. That might be enough to justify the whole project
If they paywall their porn, the site tumblrs off a cliff.
the site tumblrs off a cliff
Beautiful turn of phrase.
Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:
-
Payment method and thus Identity to reddit account
-
Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.
That's why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.
I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔
Gross and also why is this here?
Every time Reddit does something stupid, there is an opportunity to bring more users to the fediverse.
wow someone tell lemmy
why is this here
Because it's relevant?
Don't let a bad thing go to waste, it's a great opportunity to shore up, improve, and accept migrating users with friendliness and openness.
A great time to share the ideology behind decentralized social media.
Yup, every Reddit screw up is an opportunity to get more users here.

Also after a week of other posts about this (mostly to other sub's, but still).
Lmao gold lounge.
This is what got me to return to Lemmy
Welcome back! How are you finding it this time?
Welcome back
I went back to check things out for the first time in a while and realized just how awful it is in comparison to Lemmy. It's an incomprehensible clusterfuck of bots and influence campaigns. As long as engagement and new account numbers look good on paper to appease shareholders, I guess.

I went on Reddit for the first time in months yesterday on two different occasions. Both times, Reddit kept throwing server error notices at the top of my screen.
Reminder that people did fuck-all to actually try and stop spez from turning Reddit into this dumpster fire
We are here now, so there's at least that
