This may be the place to talk about alternatives to reddit since discourse about that is banned there. So far I've heard only about Lemmy. Are there others sites redditors reading this could be redirected to?

  This site is very glitchy in Safari, instance images flicker, scroll too fast you get a blank screen. Might be an issue if they're hoping to get some of the less technical "phoneposter" Redditors on board with their cause.

apparently Lemmy and Kbin are the two big names popping up. here's the same topic posted on Kbin for reference: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/59559/Removed-as-moderator-of-r-Celebrities-after-14-years#comments https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/59559/Removed-as-mod...

Lemmy, kbin and mastodon instances can interact with each other via activitypub. People can migrate to literally any instance they want, then subscribe to any community they want regardless their origin instance. My mind was blown the first time I watch this this interoperability happen. If twitter, reddit and hackernews support activitypub, it would goes like this: if someone post a tweet on twitter that mention a subreddit in the tweet, then that tweet is automatically visible in the mentioned subreddit as a post. The people on that subreddit can comment on the post, and it'll show up in the original author's tweet as reply to the tweet. Then in the middle of it, hackernews user somehow join the discussion because someone on the hackernews subscribe to the subreddit.

Usenet worked in a similar fashion decades ago. It's too bad we can't get the masses to go back to that.

  Which is basically the migration point of /r/The_Donald, /r/fatpeoplehate, some QAnon boards and other unsavory communities.

I launched an alternative a few days ago you may want to check out: https://discuit.net/ https://discuit.net/. We're still in the very early stages, however.
