inkican"It's the content, stupid" - some #chaoticgood ways to encourage people to get off of Reddit and onto Kbin
Jotting some quick notes I've observed so far from running /m/scifi for a couple of weeks and getting to 3K subscribers:... #RedditMigration
Hari SeldonYou're right.
I joined Lemmy two weeks ago, yet, I still spend most of my "Social network time" on Reddit. And the reason is that Reddit has more things to see, more interesting posts to interact with and so on.
I think that we that are already here should "prepare the place" so that others may come. And preparing the place means exactly creating posts and commenting. As simple as that.
I'm going cold turkey on Reddit for exactly this reason. I realised that if I allowed myself to use Reddit if I couldn't find the content I want elsewhere, then I'll never actually leave it.
Instead I'm trying to now use Lemmy to find the communities that I'm interested it, and to make the content that I'd like to see.

And preparing the place means exactly creating posts and commenting. As simple as that.
It also means subscribing to remote groups so that they federate and populate in advance of more people arriving.
