Fediverser Network

Fediverser is a project to build all the required tools to help people leave legacy social networks and to join the fediverse. Currently, it provides a web application that runs alongside a traditional Lemmy service to provide the following functionality:

Create a map between subreddits and the corresponding Lemmy communities
Let users signup to the Lemmy instance directly by using their reddit information, and automatically subscribe them to the lemmy communities provided by the internal reddit <-> lemmy map
(Optional): use the subreddit to lemmy map to run a mirroring tool that can take posts and comments from the subreddits and place them in the corresponding lemmy community.

The Fediverser Network is a website that aims to crowdsource the information used by the different fediverser deployments and to coordinate all users and instance admins.

Most of the top 500 subreddits (by subscriber count) are fully mapped to the corresponding Lemmy community.

I've also ran a script to identify all the "over 18" subreddits that have a corresponding community on lemmynsfw, and linked them. This resulted in almost 700 communities.

In the following days, I'd like to find specific niches that need to be categorized and then see if any of the topic-specific instances would be interested in creating the communities that are missing.

Wow, thank you so much for all the work you've put into this! Have you uploaded a list of all the matches somewhere?

[–] rglullis 0 points 11 months ago

Thanks! I'm planning to add a proper API in the coming days, but currently the only way is through the website.

@aaaa@lemmy.world and @netburnr@lemmy.world, how about laying off the downvote button and trying to explain any real objections you have to the project?

We've had this conversation before about why your project is misguided and why it's a net negative for the Lemmy experience. You later had the same conversation with several users, including some instance admins who said the same things to you.

You completely ignored all the valid feedback and reasons why so many people don't want this project federated, and responded with tone deaf replies that ignored how people use Lemmy differently than you do. Why do you expect more discussion after the way you respond to it?

In those discussions you said you don't care about down votes. If that's true, then why are you calling them out now? Just ignore them, like you do with all the other negative feedback and criticism.

I don't care about downvotes, the same is not necessarily true for the other people who are commenting.
The content mirroring from alien.top and the map of reddit-to-lemmy communities are two separate things. The fact that you are downvoting one because of your opinion of the other makes me believe that you understand neither.
