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!
Isn‘t the approach from OP tackling exactly that problem? Or do you think it will be too much for switchers to set up a community here?
They could tackle that problem exactly by creating an instance that reposts whatever gets posted to reddit subs. Asking reddit mods to help is just pathetic and won’t work.
