Stop obsessing about Reddit and create a content on Lemmy instead. People will come once they see there's enough activity here.
Exactly. Chill out. It's not a competition.
Just hang out and enjoy the community.
My favorite r/selfhosted comment.
Same with r/antiwork they closed briefly and when Reddit sneezed their way, they opened the sub instantly. Talking about hypocrisy.
There's a lot of subs like these which I don't want to name. Basically, subs with anti-corpo principles but refuses to leave corpo Reddit. I'm happy for the subs who are still dark even until now (and even more reason to be now that Reddit is deleting older DMs and removing awards/coins).
I like it here on Lemmy as there are quality talks from people and not too much circlejerking same concepts around. I actually like going trough here.
The change will come once people start searching for stuff on Google and they get results which link back to lemmy. For that to happen we need people asking for help/feedback and getting their answers here.
If you link to Lemmy on Reddit, the admins sometimes delete the comment.
Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link
I agree with all the comments so far but would like to add my own thoughts. Users are not important. Personally I moved to lemmy because the quality of discussion on reddit dropped so much.
This has been my trajectory:
- avid reddit user and content creator there (not sure if the right term) 2016 - 2018
- lurker from 2018 to 2023
- completely dropped reddit and moved to lemmy
My hope is that we can have the same kind of content and discussion in pre 2020 reddit
allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit
if /r/lemmy is any proof; A) its ok to talk about lemmy on reddit and B) /u/spez has some validity in his point about users would be back not just because of the '48hr' thing.
That said, yes a loud enough minority can create change and that discussion does need to happen where the users are for the network effect to kick off.
Some mods are deleting comments/posts promoting lemmy. I made a post in my fav sub about the community in lemmy and the mods deleted it.
