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?

Flawed premise.

Lemmy is not reddit nor should it aspire to be.

We don’t want to attract reddit users, we simply want vibrant communities.

This type of attitude results in turds that won’t flush like lemmit.online et al - a blight upon our fertile landscape.

Wow, do so many people believe Lemmy user are that much different than Reddit user? I mean I can totally forego all the bots, incels and astroturfing, but I do believe they migrate automatically once a platform got big enough. I don’t think there’s any way to stop that unless you want to keep Lemmy small forever.

Lemmy needs to grow because Reddit needs to go. Reddit has become too powerful for a greedy company like that.

Some are, but some are even worse than reddit, for example the cursed reddit custom of profile downvote… actually never happened to me on reddit but here it’s constant.

Reddit made it so you can’t downvote from a profile page, it simply wouldn’t count. You had to open every comment individually and vote on them. Sorry that it is happening to you. Maybe make a new account, karma isn’t that important.

Nah i don’t give a shit about karma i’m just genuinly depressed people are this angry and petty. But then again it’s not really surprising since it’s mostly coming from the US bootlickers.
