If there is anyone you know from Reddit that you’d like to help migrate to this community, can you tell them to join via https://portal.alien.top? This will log them in *via Reddit and automatically subscribe them to lemmy communities that correspond to the the subreddits they joined.
While the community here is empty, would you be interested in having the content mirrored to the community (via alien.top?)
I’m not too interested in being a moderator. I don’t have time for it.
As for migrating the community, they actually are one of the communities that held a vote, and they voted to stay on Reddit rather than migrate to Lemmy. I’d like to respect that decision.
I don’t have any problem with content being mirrored, though.
I apparently misremembered. There was a poll, and they posted the results here. But the poll didn’t make mention of Lemmy and instead asked about migrating entirely to Discord (which honestly makes sense since the weekly thread is mainly a “live chat” of sorts). They voted to stay on Reddit instead of migrating entirely to their Discord server.
Both the subreddit and Discord server are active enough that they don’t feel “barren” but small enough that they have a tight sense of community.
They voted against moving entirely to Discord, though. They already had an active Discord server prior to the poll and were asking people if they wanted to move entirely off of the subreddit and onto the Discord server. So I doubt they’d agree to move onto an entirely new Matrix server, especially if it wasn’t run by the same mods as the current subreddit/ Discord server. The mods are actually well-liked by the community.
No, what I mean is replace what is on Discord by Matrix, and whatever is on Reddit with Lemmy.
If the mods are well liked and act in the interest of their users, even better. I’d be willing to support them with whatever they need in terms of technical support and how to migrate a whole community.
If you want them to migrate and you’re offering your services to help them, you should probably DM the mods yourself instead of just talking to me about it.
It’s /r/Toonami. It’s gotten about 35k members over the years, but it’s not as active as that number might imply.
Ok, so I created !toonami@metacritics.zone. Follow-up questions:

That’s interesting. Can you link me to this discussion or poll? Reddit search, as usual, is not showing much.

So the change to Discord was more of a practical one than any fundamental disagreement with the Fediverse alternatives.
In the case of Discord, perhaps a Matrix space (analogous to Discord servers) could be created instead ?
