Unfortunately the owner of this list doesn’t want to add unofficial communities on fediverse, so it’s a very limited list
How is it even possible to have “official” vs “unofficial” categories in a decentralized, trust-based system that is designed to never be 100% interconnected?
In the sense that it’s the “official” failover of an existing reddit community. Not that it’s the “official” lemmy community on a subject.
Very dissapointing. I want a clear list of places that are basically equivalent to post our new communities to help guide users. If there’s an ‘official’ badge on there I don’t care, but this reeks of “Reddit mods want people to continue their power on Lemmy” to me.
“Official” is such a strange term and im truly looking forward to the end of the “migration” period.
I get that people want a similar experience to their reddit feed, but I dont understand why people see reddit affiliated communities as the best options.
At some point its better to just tear the bandaid off.
Yeah, it looks like its specifically for where the subreddit mods announced they are moving. Not just where people ended up.
I found this really useful for locating equivalent communities in Lemmy. Hope you find it useful too.
It is useful but I don’t think they’re equivalents. There’s probably multiple technology subreddit alternatives that I enjoy, none of them being a sole replacement.
This is incredibly useful so is this official subreddits that moved or include equivalents that aren’t associated?
I was on mobile so didn’t see the columns at first. I see that it let’s you know if it’s official or affiliated rated very cool.
There is another official(?) list:
Wow, thank you for this!
There could also be /m/Technology on every kbin, lemmy instance as well. Now if the mods from Reddit are moving over I could see that as more “official”.
That’s also what makes the fediverse options great, they each can be used together and separate giving users a wider use case of one instance over another. If they like the community in one but not another. Or if one community leaves the whole thing is not gone.
One note too on the “unofficial” list is the way each platform recognizes and is searchable for them is different on each platform. Be aware if you “can’t find it” using the way the community name is listed.
