I love the idea, and I also believe that getting more people onto the fediverse is a good thing. However, I do have a couple of questions/concerns.

Firstly, I’m not really sure why this would require access to Lemmy instances themselves? is it to improve coverage by automatically crawling all the communities on a given instance to match with Reddit alternatives? Or is it to automatically sign new people up to an instance and then subscribe them to the Lemmy communities automatically? I believe that pushing for admins to provide root level access to their Lemmy servers is going to limit your growth. I don’t run an instance, but if I did, I’m not sure that I would allow anything except the bare minimum access to the server.

I also noticed that the Subreddits section doesn’t display anything. I ended up creating a second account which I OAuth’d to my Reddit account, and it was still empty. I was trying to figure out how to add an ‘alternative to’ section on a few communities (which took me a while to figure out how to do)

Also, about the above: Are there any plans to add a way to link a Reddit account to a pre-existing account? What about account deletion, data anonymisation, and GDPR compliance? I do realise most of those aren’t relevant at the moment, and probably won’t be for some time, but I think you may encounter some issues, considering the more privacy-conscious nature of a lot of Fediverse users.

I do really hope to see this expand and grow, though. Despite the potential to bring some unsavoury Reddit types, it’ll be an overall win for the Fediverse.
