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?
Keep the Reddit users on Reddit. I donβt want them shitting this place up. This has a nice self selection bias going; donβt fuck with a good thing.
The best thing about Lemmy is that it's not R.
Maybe inviting people to be less extremist and radicalized. If you want Lemmy to be less of a niche and more of a mainstream platform you have to accept normies.
I literally ended up blocking the world news sub because all the posts and comments were circle jerking around the left wing agenda
Yeah the politics are pretty one sided and hostile
I'm assuming there's a shredder in the middle of the funnel, kind of like when that ice machine shreds up a random crony in James Bond prior to the avalanche in that scene in whatever James Bond film it was I forget.
lets keep talking about getting redditors here on lemmy which will surely bring the people that arent on lemmy
the fact u said add ai, bros desperate for content just go use reddit some vegetarians still eat bacon sometimes
lemmy sucks my man until we have some actual content itll continue to suck. content has to exist for more content to be created its a self fulfilling prophecy that would likely never happen due to lemmy being weird and not super intuitive in the beginning
i say all this as a reddit refugee and lemmy user though i use lemmy less because it sucks but ive stopped using reddit entirely (except for those long nights if you know what i mean)
Chill the fuck out with the bans, for starters. A lot of people come to these sites to discuss news, and then leave for good when they catch bans for stupid shit like saying "US revolutionaries probably didn't go around murdering entire families." Meanwhile, hexbears are posting pics of pig shit, which is apparently fine.
I mean, I definitely won't suggest this place to anyone at this point because of how toxic .ml has become in particular.
