I've been trying to convince the people over at Sync for Reddit to do the same, but they clearly don't see the value in Nostr.

It's interesting because Nostr is exactly what they're looking for. They don't want something controlled by a corporation and they don't want fediverse style broken apart communities.

The one big issue though is that Nostr doesn't yet have a concept of subreddits, i.e. mini communities around a given topic.
