Please, help us to better understand how we can effectively funnel reddit users into Lemmy across all demographics, leveraging the average Lemmings advantages like expertise in automation, ai and bots?
What tactics/strategies do you propose? Can we automate the process? Can we somehow add ai to make it more fashionable?
Don’t want to. This is good as it is. There’s already a fair crack of wowsers here, and that’s already too many. The discussion here was pretty amazing a while back, but it’s already dumbing down as this place grows.
Honestly, lemmy and the fediverse as a whole will have natural growth and thats fine - mastodon has been around for like 8 years and is only recently getting a small amount of attention and mainstream usage. Like take the long view - like the really long view like 15 years from now. It’ll probably be huge, but until then we will just share memes and have a good time discussing stuff.
Yes, that’s me. I like it here, people are nicer in general. When I read some comments on political posts, it reminds me of Reddit and I quit. I don’t want them here, let Lemmy grow naturally or not at all. It’s hypocrisy I know, but just go look at r/all on Reddit and read the comments and justify wanting them here. Nope.
Don’t focus only on reddit users. That unnecessarily narrows the scope of the issue.
Lemmy has significant barriers to joining that other sites or services do not have. And then once people manage to join there are basic usability issues with simple things like finding communities.
Until these core issues are solved it feels pointless to try to target users from a specific site.
They will leave when they reach their breaking point and not before. Part of this has to do with changes implemented by Reddit the company. Part of this has to do with quality of user generated content. Unless you are going to tank quality by making bad posts on Reddit or running a bunch of bots to do the same, I doubt you’ll have much of an effect.
I suppose the only thing Lenny Lemmy can do is advertise and Reddit isn’t good at allowing that so I’ve heard.
Lemmy is actually worse than Reddit. It’s use base appear to be a bigger load of fedora wearing, fart huffing, hive minded l, predictable shut-ins than even Reddit.
You could try attracting users from somewhere a bit more diverse in terms of thought than Reddit.
I think it would help if when people googled Lemmy the top results would be a familiar interface with posts. Not a bunch of information about what it is and how to join.
I dunno, let reddit keep fucking around and they’ll come over. More engagement is always good but nothing gets better when there are more people on it.
