More than half redditors doesn’t know this exist.

Edit: Ok damn that’s a lot of stuff, I agree tm people always messes things up and yes we are very outnumbered . I’m not saying we should be hating reddit I want people to know there’s an alternative when the corporate mess shits on reddit after a while. Thanks for the , um, Interesting stuff. Couldn’t help noticing it was more actually useful stuff instead of useless slander which makes up reddit i love you guys.

      I wouldn’t mind having maybe twice the population and activity we have right now.

      We don’t need millions, but 100k would be a nice community, with enough people to discuss more niche topics, and more creators posting their work.

          Just block lemmit.online

          Also do block some users if you notice them “lowering” your feeds “quality”

          Since I did these things Lemmy gets better day by day

      Reddit is still a much more diverse group than the Fediverse, which is still sadly dominated by technical people, mostly men, of a generally very similar political position.

      Also Lemmy and other forum-like instance types are the closest alternative to Reddit on the Fediverse, so it makes sense to let people on Reddit know that there is a more open alternative.

      Yes its called free speech they might be idiots or shit heads in your eyes but they have as much of a right to speak as u do.

        Free speech rights don’t apply to platforms. We have the right, arguably the responsibility, to filter certain speech.

        I bet my damned paycheck you’re one of those guys that thinks free speech means you can call the lady at Wendy’s the N word without repercussions.

        And just like the history of Reddit, from being niche and obscure to being ubiquitous and heavily trafficked, everything gets horrible when it gets big. The enshittification eye of Sauron is always watching, waiting for anything to get good enough to ruin.

        No thanks, I’m a Linux user that is okay with being in the 2-4%. If it had a large market share, someone would find a way to capitalize on it. I’m also perfectly happy with my one and only form of social media staying small and cozy.

    Lemmy users should produce original content, that’s how Lemmy will become popular, also instances need very good search engines indexation

    I’m fine with a bunch of them staying for the enshittification. Lemmy is growing and that’s all that matters

    I remember when people were trying to make posts telling others about Lemmy. A lot of them just straight up got removed. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s still the case.

    OC infographics, shared as pics. Include the URL of your Lemmy account, for authorship. If the infographic is interesting/cool/useful people will share it, indirectly promoting Lemmy.

    It would be better to target individual communities that are known to be good to move over than Redditors as a whole. The majority of people on that site have nothing to offer.

      Even communities can be tough.

      /r/unixporn was closed for a while, the mods encouraged people to move to Lemmy, it was a failure

        Yea, there were a few I was on that talked about it but it didn’t take. It’s a hard problem but I still think its better to target quality over quantity. I’d rather have less posts in my feed overall than a fuckton of garbage I have to weed out like on Reddit.

      Mods on /r/Denmark removed my post announcing the creation of Feddit.dk within minutes for self-promotion.

      In some ways, I don’t blame them too much. Most instances, including Feddit.dk, have rules against advertisements and self-promotion. It’s kinda difficult to let people know that the Fediverse exists when we are so opposed to advertisements on a principal level (definitely not suggesting using ads, for the record).

      We can basically only rely on mouth-to-mouth discovery and that’s very slow.

    Someone write a Reddit bot (preferably in python) I’ll happily make a pull with a langchain chain and someone find a whole bunch of Reddit accounts and openai api keys. Let’s ai manufacture some propaganda on mass bois.

      En masse*

      I don’t think the way to go is flooding them with garbage. What reasonable person would see that and think “Yeah, this is where I want to spend my time”? The only solution in my mind is to engage in meaningful, relevant, organic conversation, and talk about how Lemmy has been a great (or at least good enough) alternative to Reddit. Let the platform win on merit.
