Any ideas of communities that we could reach out to suggest them to move to lemmy? (reddthat.com)

The only successful example I found the other day was https://old.reddit.com/r/FloatingIsFun/, now [email protected]

If a few other communities could move over there, that would help make the platform more active.

There is a banned subreddit that recently moved here (I won't mention it to avoid them getting raided, but if you browse All you probably know which one I'm talking about), that was very interesting, and some proof that the current tools (the websites, the mobile apps, the interfaces) could work for people outside of the usual "tech / Linux / FOSS" bubble.

What do you think?

We're actually in contact with the r/Medicine moderation team over in [email protected]. We never ended up formally announcing a partnership / official status because everyone got busy, but it's something I want to go back to at some point. There are a lot of amazing medicine/healthcare communities on Reddit that could benefit from an alternative here

I also think that Mastodon healthcare people could be interested in a community here, if there is a good way to reach them and let them know it exists
