Are we on good terms with the mods of r/Lemmy and r/RedditAlternatives?

r/Lemmy has a single moderator, u/MarcellusDrum.

u/ryan_II
u/RedditWater7
u/RedditLiquid8
u/Madbrad200
u/Dukkani
u/Zakku_Rakusihi

Are any of them active on Lemmy? These subreddits are proving to be key spaces for onboarding new users to Lemmy. Might it be prudent to establish good relationships with these people?

None of them seem to be particularly active in the above communities. It would be nice if they could swap out some of the pinned threads, many of which contain outdated information.

Yeah I moderate /r/Lemmy. If you need anything, let me know. I'm more likely to read your message quickly if you sent me a message through Reddit (a PM, not chat, as I still use RiF).
- RiF works still?
  
  You can patch the old apps to use your own API key iirc. The API pricing only kicks in when there's too many requests using the same key in a timeframe. Which is easily reached when you've got thousands of devices using the same key, but nearly impossible when people use their own key.

If you're talking about us? We don't have any terms with them.
I never checked r/lemmy so i can't comment on it. r/RedditAlternatives community can seem against the fediverse and usually recommend obscure, proprietary alternatives such as Discuit? Weird. And they removed rimu's post advertising piefed, so i wouldn't say i'll trust them immediately.
- If you told me r/RedditAlternatives was operated by Reddit employees it wouldn't completely shock me. But a more likely explanation for why there is no "Fedi consensus" there is that because Lemmy/Piefed is the best option, the people who try it out are more likely to actually leave Reddit.
  In short, there are people trying to "make Discuit happen" because unlike Lemmy it's well, not happening.

  They did ? Crap
  
  Yep. It was on 0 upvotes and a dude calling us "conservatives" based on the homepage (???) was highly upvoted too. They were questioning funding, but it shouldn't be a problem if we aren't twitter incarnate types of size.
  They seem pretty against the idea of the fediverse.
