The #redditblackout has moved to a new stage... from a two day blackout to indefinitely shutting down... to people moving away entirely.

Yes, r/startrek has lifted off from #reddit and moved to #lemmy -- and with it, a realization that we need an easy way to help people find their new, old communities that have moved from reddit to #lemmy #kbin and whatever else pops up.

I started a quick and dirty list that you can share and contribute to (PRs welcome!).

@adhocandadlib Unfortunately, it isn't quite that fancy, although the data is markdown with static header names: https://github.com/yoasif/yoasif.github.io/blob/main/_posts/2023-06-15-unofficial-subreddit-migration-list-lemmy-kbin-etc.markdown

Probably won't be that easy to just parse, since some of the rows are multiple entries (for example).

@yoasif excellent, more than good enough! In the interim, I’d actually hacked something together with grep and python (to handle the fact that the `td`tags were on separate lines) from html, but this looks even easier/ more reliable!

Now, for the apparently more difficult endeavor which is finding an instance whose signup is actually working…
