Hi, moderator of Transcribers of Reddit here!
TL;DR: It's just not feasible with the resources available to us.
It's theoretically possible we could migrate to the Fediverse, and it's an option we investigated. We can't 100% exclude that we never will migrate anywhere, but I think it's very unlikely we will.
The jist of it comes down to this: the infrastructure that we've built to keep our community running smoothly on Reddit has taken years to get as stable as it is now. A large amount of that would have to be completely re-written for a different API, and we just don't have the resources for that.
There's also the fact to consider that everywhere else, Fediverse included, is already leaps and bounds more accessible than Reddit. (The very existence of this post evidences that much of the userbase is more aware of its necessity, and that's a great thing!)
Migration to somewhere else would take a long time and a huge amount of effort, and we only have one primary developer, who has an IRL job and life to attend to, and thus can't reasonably devote the amount of time and effort that would be required.
Hugely appreciate all the work you’ve done. Even if not by direct means, I’m certain your work will inspire new iterations in new communities.
Awh, that's too bad; I get what you're saying. Thank you for your efforts!
