Fediverser Portal: update to my fediverser project, people now can migrate away from reddit by signing up to the mirror instance directly. (portal.alien.top)

So, I know that my project fediverser has received quite a bit of criticism and its flagship instance alien.top has been quite controversial, but I hope that this update will help people understand the whole project better, which is more than "just yet-another repost bot".

Today I am launching the "Fediverser Portal". The idea is simple: given that alien.top is a instance to be the home of reddit mirror accounts, the portal can let actual reddit users to sign up to the Lemmy instance using OAuth. Registrations are closed on the Lemmy side, and the only way to sign up is by using "Login with Reddit". When the user successfully authorizes the login, then the account is created on the Lemmy side with the same reddit username. Also important, the system can also get the list of subscribed subreddits from the user and we can then subscribe them to the corresponding Lemmy instances automatically.

I believe this can make migration a lot easier, because people will not only avoid the "how do I sign up" part, they will even login and have some content already available in their feed.

As usual, don't hesitate to give your most honest feedback.
