Dear Lemmings, how can we funnel reddit users to lemmy?
(lemmy.world)
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?
The difference lies in how we got here. One means finding a new community, assessing it, and integrating into it. It means seeing the new community as distinctly not Reddit. The other is effectively a "Come as you are" invitation that will just directly import reddit's culture, after which it will be effectively too late to trim less desirable behaviors.
Then we could still funnel new users from other sources that are more like-minded. Say FOSS community and hackers for example (incidentally those are proabably a large chunk of Lemmy users)
No, why would we force them to join. Funneling makes it somewhat sound like forcing our tricking people to go and join lemmy. I would rather that people do it on their own. That way we get genuine lemmings not transplanted reddit trash.
