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?
I think the lemmy community is great as it is!
I feel the very specific community topic split is already affecting Lemmy negatively. So I think having larger, broader community topics (e.g. 'commuting' instead of a community for every single option to commute by itself), with more diverse content, interaction and of course more visible activity, would also attract new users.
Right now some communities are so specific, that by its creation, it's a filter bubble by design. And then of course you don't get a lot of content or interaction, as only yea-sayer get accepted.
Interaction requires different approaches, opinions, options and of course people who upvote them even when disagreeing. The reply box is the correct option when disagreeing, not the downvote. That's how Lemmy will sprout.
tl;dr Broader community topics for larger, more diverse and more active communities
Relay for Reddit charged me a subscription so I found this place just this week. It's like old Reddit.
Message the mods of your favourite subreddit(s) and ask them if they want to create the same over on Lemmy or should you? :-)
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.
I think the only thing reddit has over Lemmy is the number of active communities, and not how big these communities are. If there's 10k people in a community, it's fine. It doesn't help if there's 100k.
But I need the diversity. I need r/soccer and r/chatgpt that are way more active.
Maybe inviting people to be less extremist and radicalized. If you want Lemmy to be less of a niche and more of a mainstream platform you have to accept normies.
I literally ended up blocking the world news sub because all the posts and comments were circle jerking around the left wing agenda
I've been on Lemmy for 3 months and it's frustrating.
Or to put it another way, "do any of you have subreddits that can promote Lemmy". That's the only way I envision this.
The best thing about Lemmy is that it's not R.
