I don’t know what kind of engagement to expect, but I made a post encouraging Raddle users to come here. It appeared to be an exclusively leftist space and be an active forum.
Having styled this post as an AMA, I may be unprepared for some of their questions. I haven’t been on here very long, and may be fielding questions that are better directed to Lemmy devs or long-time users. I am happy to x-post questions and answers to their platform on your behalves
Shoutout to @Amorphous@lemmygrad.ml for giving me the idea in the chapo thread
Side note, before I even started lemmy (and also had the idea for an activitypub / federated reddit), I thought about contributing to postmill. I opened up an issue about adding working torrent magnet links(to make file-sharing more friendly), and the ticket was immediately closed. The dev told me feature-requests are not allowed, as it causes them more work.
I get that of course, as an open source dev nearly all the work you’re asked to do is free labor, but not even allowing any feature requests from the community, (and the code being php), were signs that we really needed a better alternative.
