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?
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.
Lemmy is actually worse than Reddit. It's use base appear to be a bigger load of fedora wearing, fart huffing, hive minded l, predictable shut-ins than even Reddit.
You could try attracting users from somewhere a bit more diverse in terms of thought than Reddit.
