https://lemmy.ml OR https://lemmy.world and https://kbin.social and are quite nice. Been posting there myself and it is great.

Lemmy is having some stability issues across its instances because of this growth curve: https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/693866c7-8f65-4046-8781-58aee70...

Moving entire communities there is going to be challenging

The trick is to both (1) promote equivalent communitie to existing Reddits - let them know there are alternaives to being a serf -- and (2) start posting on there. Be the change you want to see!

The federated future for social is coming, albeit slowly in fits and starts. What is nice is that many of the communities on these two are shared because it is the fediverse.

EDIT: Downvoted why?

I'm certain you got downvoted over the word 'serf'. I upvoted because my reaction to that framing is more positive, but it's not a framing I would use, myself, because I would expect to get some flak for it.
