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!
I think stuff like this needs to happen organically, otherwise you’ll have people who hate it, complain about it, and give it a bad rep, hindering its growth
No matter what you do people will hate it, complain about it, and give it a bad rep.
I think right now, any publicity good, bad, or upside down will help.
