Dear Lemmings, how can we funnel reddit users to lemmy?

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?

z00s,

The best thing about Lemmy is that it’s not R.

jaicon,

Relay for Reddit charged me a subscription so I found this place just this week. It’s like old Reddit.

Users who care about privacy and not being exploited and targeted with shitty ads are already here.

The majority are Ben Dovers and don’t mind getting fucked.

guildz,

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.

Iapar,

I bet their are a bunch of people here on Lemmy from before the reddit exodus that vomited reading that post.

First time I feel like being part of the locust.

Zippit,

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.

Immersive_Matthew,

Message the mods of your favourite subreddit(s) and ask them if they want to create the same over on Lemmy or should you? :-)

theragu40,

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.

If we pay they will put it on the front page 😂

thebrownhaze,

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.

csolisr,

Linking to Lemmy threads on related subreddits for as long as Reddit allows us to

Toes,

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.

systemglitch,

I’m arguing against recruiting people over en mass. I feel natural growth is a healthier alternative, as a stagnant environment is also unhealthy.

interdimensionalmeme,

This link, /c/books On any Lemmy server must show an agglomeration of all “books” communities on the whole lenmiverse

Because without this, user are made to flock to the one big /c/books community on the one big instance.

This betrays the initial promise of Lemmy to be decentralized.

Without this, communities will mosly remain small and fragmented

Communities should be easily able to migrate Toa new instance. Users too, 5 clicks at most.

Moderation should be subscription based. A filter I subscribe to and apply, if I choose, to the raw Lenny feed.

Secret300,

Honestly at this point the people that stay on Reddit just liked getting fucking in the ass by big tech companies or are just too stupid to not be fucked in the ass

daniskarma,

Don’t kink shame. It’s their kink and we have to respect it. They like it rough.

systemglitch,

I know you are joking, but I feel kinks should be shamed… if it wasn’t shameful it would not be a kink. It’s a weird turn the internet took when it started celebrating kinks.

HerbalGamer,

depends on the kink

systemglitch,

What’s an example of a kink that should not be shamed?

HerbalGamer,

all of them except humiliation kinks.

systemglitch,

Well then we have completely polar opposite views. There is no kink that should go unshamed imo.

If it is not something a person should be proud of then it is something they should be ashamed of.

I’m fully willing to hear a decent argument that can provide reasoning to the contrary, because I am unable to think of one myself.

HerbalGamer,

You are a very closeminded person then.

systemglitch,

Quite the contrary. However, I recognize unhealthy behaviour.

From my perspective, you are the one with a closed mind.

HerbalGamer,

…fucking what??

systemglitch,

I think I have abundantly clear. Now we have reached the point in the conversation where we agree to disagree.

Take care of yourself.

Secret300,

When you right, you right
