Where do we really stand on supporting reddit migration? We want to get people off corporate social media right?

Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork.

Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?

We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?

I support it because I want more people to talk about shows with
- Okay so how is there no nerdy subs for stuff like this?
  There isn’t that few of us, I think we just keep getting drowned in politics.
  
  There's a Doctor Who community, but it's not very active
  
  Yeah… the only thing that gives me hope is the Simpsons shit posting sub, it’s just a little less active than the Reddit equivalent. I guess being a Simpson fan made you more likely to migrate.
  
  Unfortunately, nerdy =/= tech literate, and it's mainly tech literate people here at the moment. While there's likely a higher concentration of nerds here, many fringe interests still haven't hit critical mass
  
  I havent really kept tabs on how the "everything" feed works. Does it show posts from small communities here and there? Or is it the most upvoted stuff over the instance?
  Some engagement algorithms to showcase popular posts from smaller communities seems like a good way to get people to branch from politics abd linux a little bit.
  Edit: scaled view is really what im describing and already exists

  If you want to see posts from small communities (balanced with the larger ones) then select "Scaled" instead of "Hot" or "Active".
  If you're sick of politics and tech then subscribe to communities you like and sort by "Subscribed" instead of "Local" or "All". Look here for relevant communities:
  
  So I sort either by hot or active, and view either home or all.
  Home + hot is the least noisy and I use it for my feed good time, although lots of politics still comes through.
  All + active shows you the most controversial stuff, pretty much your regular political dramas.
  All + hot leads to random posts from communities that are obscure, can be very fun sometimes.
  Honestly, imo the biggest problem is the state of the world, not the technology
- !showsandmovies@lemm.ee
- Feel this as I semi-void post about some of the shows I've watched in !showsandmovies@lemm.ee. Trying to let people know there's someone else around here watching Japanese and Korean shows.
  
  Thank you for posting it!
- Binging anything right now?
  
  Rewatching the venture bros
  
  Watching Doctor Who in chronological order
  
  Chronological based on episode airing date, or date depicted in that episode?
  
  Date in the episode, baby
  
  Now I kinda want to watch it by date depicted... Do you know of a list somewhere for that?
  
  Watching Doctor Who is such a treat. Where are you at? The 12th is one of my favorite runs
  
  Just got to the TV movie.
  
  Holy crap isn't there a A LOT of Doctor Who?
  
  It's taken several months and also I skipped most of the Third Doctor era because that would just be watching the show normally
  
  Severance!!
  
  It isn't very long, but I just wrapped up Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem For Vengeance.
  It's kind of obvious that it was a rather low-budget show, which is a pity because the story concept is something I've wanted for ages, but now won't be repeated because it was done and didn't fare well.
  Bookwise, I'm chewing my way through The Dresden Files.
  
  !gundam@ani.social
  
  Nice, subscribed!
  
  Interesting that you mentioned Gundam, I started with the original series and then sort of switched over to Macross and finished the original season of that. Neither one really struck a cord with me.. I'm more of a Space Battleship Yamoto 2199 person I guess
  
  I admit unfamiliarity with SBY2199 beyond seeing some clips and understanding the basic concept.
  That said, from what I do know, it's more of a... dramatic-flare show, whereas Gundam (especially the Universal Century) tends to be a bit grittier, grim, and grounded about war? You might enjoy Mobile Suit Gundam 00, which (from my perspective) is I think a little more "Yamato-like".
  
  Silo on Apple TV is really good
  
  Severance as well. Very very good IMO. The books silo was based on are great as well. First one is called wool I believe.
  
  I started watching House again randomly.
  
  Only Murders. Not binging, but we're watching through it.
