So, is it time now for "spread mastodon/fediverse" to adapt somewhat and spread the "#Threadiverse" (my moniker, fediverse for reddit-like platforms, eg #Lemmy and #kbin)The energy and pickup in users seems real. Lemmy is def more active, and there's a growing sense of the Reddit-migration happening. (See, eg, https://lemmy.ml/post/1148886?scrollToComments=true, https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/140op93/host_your_own_community_if_reddits_api_rules_go/)But the platforms probably need help. Instances, communities, documentation, tutorials, forks etc.@fediversenews

@fediversenews additionally, see this post on a Reddit third party app dev thinking of porting for lemmy or mastodon: https://lemmy.ml/post/1146855.

@fediversenews another factor in this is just how much more capable Reddit users might be of mounting a mass migration. Unlike Twitter, which is essentially individualist with a big corp umbrella, Reddit is more driven by voluntary community activity through sub-Reddit creation and management, and users more accustomed to moving sub-reddits. See, eg, Sub-Reddit mods *protesting* the API charges with blackouts: https://lemmy.ml/post/1148152.Feels like a missed opportunity waiting to happen.

@fediversenews And to stress the need for help ... here's the core #lemmy dev calling for the load to be spread amongst instances as the core/flagship instance is being overrun: https://lemmy.ml/post/1147770Would it be an interesting idea for various current mastodon admins to put up parallel lemmy (or alternative #Threadiverse instances)?

@maegul @fediversenews I wonder if that's a scaling issue with lemmy as the growth across lemmy instances over the last week is a tenth of that over mastodon ones and the core one is pretty small compared to the large mastodon ones.https://mastodon.social/@fediversecounter/110490691297286518
