I don't really understand why you would want to. In order for the fediverse to be strong it has to grow organically and scale up, not face an eternal september of clueless people who aren't particularly interested in it.
The corporate/political shills, scammers, sealions and such are attracted to reddit by its size. Not having all that crap here is a good thing. Let's enjoy it while it lasts.
I'd rather be in a small community of interesting people who like to talk, contribute and honestly and politely debate ideas.
Rather than a huge community of zombies repeating one another or joining in mob mentalities.
@ininewcrow me too. I also like that we can still recognise some of the people here, even from different instances!
Yeah it is definitely much better, you can almost taste the freedom. The quality of discourse is much more relaxed and just overall better.
