It's time to take advantage of Reddit's decline (mander.xyz)

It's no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it's still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What's more, I don't think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!

Nice strawman.

Lemming: You should try Lemmy, it's a way to have reddit style content, but without a company controlling it.

Redditor: Wow cool, Fuck Spez. Where do I join?

Lemming: it doesn't matter, every domain that participates has the same content, here's a list of places to choose from.

I agree with both posts.

I put lemmy off because the way everyone was explaining it was confusing AF. Everyone comes at you like they are on the street handing out Bibles.

People go through this whole fediverse diatribe. There should just be a universal Eli 5 infographic that each instance shows new users that briefly describe how it works.

Once you remove the decentralized fedi talk it's actually pretty simple to understand.
