Many communities here are too empty, and if there are not enough people to make original threads maybe doing that for a while could help?

The worst thing to do would be an inorganic botch job on here to fill a gap when there’s no need, you can read that content elsewhere.
Anyway, it’s not an automatic guarantee of engagement or interaction. It’s purely a hack move.
I’m happy to use Reddit if I feel I can’t find anything to read on Kbin. You are allowed to use both you know?

But I cannot force emulation communities to make the switch. Until they get tired of posts being removed and replacement subreddits getting banned, I have to be there occasionally to catch up.
No, that content is not here.

Look dude, db0 himself posted in those communities and invited them over. Even made communities for them to drop into and they said they didn’t want to fracture the community and deleted his invite posts. I don’t make their policy, and I’m not going to copy over their posts like I’m a bot. All the experts are there (the emulator devs and modders) for now that’s how it is. They seem to be considering moving more seriously now than before due to pinned mega helpthreads getting nuked, but I don’t call the shots there. I just do my best to mention lemmy in those moments in a way that doesn’t get me banned. That’s it. I have no desire to single handedly jumpstart it here. I don’t care that much.
I left reddit, and pretty much stay away from it. I don’t want to give advertising revenue to reddit. And so I suggest federating with reddit is not a good idea. As you say, “it’s over there, if we need/want it”, to paraphrase.
