I used to use Reddit a lot more back before the whole API fiasco earlier this year. After that, I stopped, save for posts promoting Lemmy and one very specific subreddit that never migrated to Lemmy and that I just couldn’t go without. (The other subreddits I could either do without or were already replicated on Lemmy.)
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.

If I may ask, what subreddit is that, and how big it is?
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 ?
