Community seems dead. Can we mirror reddit posts here? (communick.news)

Despite this being the "official" nix community on the Fediverse, it seems quite inactive. Others like [email protected] and [email protected] are only slightly better.

I'm wondering if the admins would be okay with me configuring my fediverser instance to mirror reddit posts and comments here?

I'm actually okay with the mirror capability of fediverser, after all I'm the one that is developing it. :)

It's a bit more sophisticated than a simple mirror. It creates a 1:1 mapping between reddit accounts on the alien.top instance, which can then be taken over by the reddit users .by login via the portal.

But therein lies the dilemma: I know that this tool is helping to bootstrap communities, but I also understand that some admins are against it. I have it already set up my system at alien.top to collect the posts from /r/NixOS, but I'm not going to push them to any community unless I get explicit approval from the mods and admins.

That is so clever

If you'd like to deploy an instance of your own, let me know. It would be nice to have more servers running it before reddit decides to strike me out.

I'm interested in trying this out with some communities that I'm a moderator of.

That would be great! Which communities?
