Dont

Don't want to. This is good as it is. There's already a fair crack of wowsers here, and that's already too many. The discussion here was pretty amazing a while back, but it's already dumbing down as this place grows.

Why tho? Just let them use their reddit.

I see marketing via AI tools and bots unethical. Many things can be done via conventional marketing.

1. Contact content creators (especially oriented towards Linux and Free software, like TheLinuxExperiment or DistroTube, or some gaming channels, as well) to create communities of their channels on Lemmy.
2. Somehow reduce content about world news and politics. Many people go to the Internet to step aside from the real world events.

Also, majority of Reddit users are teenagers. The older generation of Reddit has fled away. We must think twice what target audience we want to bring in. I don't want Lemmy to become a place where alt-wing anti-establishment political leaders bait naïve teenagers and take them into the rabbit hole (aka scenario described in The Social Dilemma).

I bet their are a bunch of people here on Lemmy from before the reddit exodus that vomited reading that post.

First time I feel like being part of the locust.

Honestly, lemmy and the fediverse as a whole will have natural growth and thats fine - mastodon has been around for like 8 years and is only recently getting a small amount of attention and mainstream usage. Like take the long view - like the really long view like 15 years from now. It'll probably be huge, but until then we will just share memes and have a good time discussing stuff.

"We can post about wanting to kill nazis on Lemmy."

lmao get a life bro

I dunno, let reddit keep fucking around and they'll come over. More engagement is always good but nothing gets better when there are more people on it.

Been a lot of negative comments but I agree that we need to encourage people to migrate here. Been thinking about that myself lately.

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.

Post Lemmy content on Reddit on the same way X content is posted on Reddit. Those interested will stay.

We could improve Lemmy's features because this is an important factor in the next of content creation. For example: better sync, account migration, more intuitive UX, etc.

If you remember a ton of people left because for these reasons: Confusing sign-up (having to choose an instance), worse UX, having to use third-party sites to explore communities which aren't local, suffering from defederation (my main gripe with Lemmy)

They will leave when they reach their breaking point and not before. Part of this has to do with changes implemented by Reddit the company. Part of this has to do with quality of user generated content. Unless you are going to tank quality by making bad posts on Reddit or running a bunch of bots to do the same, I doubt you'll have much of an effect.

I suppose the only thing ~~Lenny~~ Lemmy can do is advertise and Reddit isn't good at allowing that so I've heard.

I think it would help if when people googled Lemmy the top results would be a familiar interface with posts. Not a bunch of information about what it is and how to join.

This link, /c/books On any Lemmy server must show an agglomeration of all "books" communities on the whole lenmiverse

Because without this, user are made to flock to the one big /c/books community on the one big instance.

This betrays the initial promise of Lemmy to be decentralized.

Without this, communities will mosly remain small and fragmented

Communities should be easily able to migrate Toa new instance. Users too, 5 clicks at most.

Moderation should be subscription based. A filter I subscribe to and apply, if I choose, to the raw Lenny feed.

I think the lemmy community is great as it is!
