Very interesting. Will this cover all subreddits, or all above a certain size?
I've switched fully off of reddit in protest, and have turned to HN and Lemmy as imperfect replacements. The main remaining thing I've noticed reddit excels at is researching things like product recommendations.
Searching a keyword on BIFL, along with poking through various threads on whatever niche community might exist for the topic, has been one of the most reliable and useful ways to get a sense for what brands or models are best when considering a purchase.
So far Lemmy is not close to replacing this so it would be compelling if your project could change that.
- rglullis 3y agoThere is no 1:1 mapping between subreddits and lemmy instances, so even the very tiny ones can be mirrored. The main bottleneck is actually on the lemmy side, as I am having to create most of the communities, setting out rules, etc.
- eek2121 3y agoperfection is subjective IMO. I quit reddit when Apollo died. I use Lemmy, but no longer find myself getting sucked into a doomscrolling vacuum. For me, Lemmy IS the perfect replacement because I use it less.
