    I think the best way to convince people to move is to use this sub for its intended purpose of discussing Obsidian MD and how to use it. Right now the top posts on this sub are about reddit and open source philosophy, so it’s not immediately clear to people migrating that this is a great community for discussing Obsidian’s utility.

      Haha, nice!

      Don’t worry. People were using Reddit and Digg at the same time for years until the migration was actually done. That’ll also happen with Reddit and Fediverse this time

        That’s a very good point. I remember that transition. Same is happening with Twitter -> Mastodon. Slowly more people are coming over and spending less time on Twitter as the content gets less and less (and grows on Mastodon). It takes time but it does happen.

      Same exact boat here! I just want to export a list of subreddit’s that I was subscribed to, then I plan to delete my accounts.

    Good. Would have given a few pointers about the federation. eg. Just pick any instance.

      I think that giving too many choices to users who are already confused by the concept of federation and instances will enhance their paralysis of making choice due to cognitive overload (See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overchoice ).

      I’ve found out kbin.social the easiest to get used to (end-user wise).

    I’m finding https://sub.rehab/ to be the best resource for making the switch. If you haven’t submitted the link for this community, please do! Reddit is taking down a lot of the “here’s our community on Lemmy” posts so I’m just directing everyone to sub.rehab so they can find theirs communities for themselves. I think this central resource is the best way to do this.

    There are 4 responses, hardly enough to gauge the general response yet I’d say. If we want people to migrate, or make it easier, we should include explanations of how Lemmy/federation works, or at least include links to explanations. Maybe a couple of notes published with Obsidian Publish on the topic would be fitting? 😄 (doesn’t have to be Obsidian Publish of course, any open garden would do)
