It's time to take advantage of Reddit's decline
It's time to take advantage of Reddit's decline
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!

Mass adoption is a poison pill.
This is all I have to say and offer in this thread, as a 3+ year adopter of Lemmy, and the first subreddit ever to have established an official Reddit mirror community for r/privatelife.
I agree. It's better to not grow the community too much in the beginning, specially since everyone pointed all users to Lemmy world and now we are centralized, more or less.
I don't think it will be a very interesting Lemmy fediverse if we don't grow many instances, and many communities, across the fediverse.
