Arguments to support the idea:

  • According to browse.feddit.de, this is the largest community for showcasing electronics projects, the last post is almost one month old.
  • People that signup to alien.top via the fediverserver portal will have this community as the recommended alternative to /r/electronics, but they will pretty much never see it if the community does not have any fresh content and will be more likely to lose interest.
  • Despite the usual criticism of mirroring bots, the way that the fediverser tool works is showing to actually help interaction. In the past two weeks, I’m seeing an above average increase of subscriber and (more importantly) user count on communities like !main@selfhosted.forum, !homelab@selfhosted.forum and !emacs@communick.news

      What’s the long-term anti-blocking plan?

      Different people run bridges for different communities? So it’s difficult to track down all the different bridges?

        Multiple bridges is the short-term plan. The real long-term plan is to bring enough people to the fediverse to the point reddit is obsolete and the bridges are no longer necessary…

            I don’t have a website there, I do need to find the time to put it up.

            I’ve added an Ethereum address on the github sponsors page, but honestly the best way to help me is by subscribing to communick. 5 bucks a month will give you access to 10 mastodon accounts, which you can then share with your friends. It helps me to fund the operation and it helps overcome the issue of network effects.
