Yes. Not just because it’s American but because it’s a capitalist shithole

Better late than never.

What about post original here and crosspost over there strategy ?

I think the best way to convince people to use the fediverse is by pointing out they are likely already using social media other than just reddit, so they should add the fediverse into the mix instead of being so hesitant about it.

Trying to make it like a reddit replacement I think is adding some barrier to adoption psychologically. But, these same people are fine using reddit, twitter, instagram, threads, tiktok, bluesky, etc. So it’s not like they dont have room to also use the fediverse like lemmy.

Reddit or social media in general should be the last thing we switch, simply because we need to reach as many people as possible. If we give that up too early, the movement dies instantly. You cannot convince people to switch if they can’t even see your posts.

This is half right half cope. You aren’t forced to use a single social media. You can switch while remaining.

Also I cracked up seeing someone say “as a Lemmy user” then noticing their name was guillotines now. Very on brand.

It’s really good more people are talking about Lemmy on Reddit. It gives Lemmy more exposure and more and more users are making the switch from Reddit to Lemmy because of it! 🎉

We should all be making posts regularly on Reddit about how to easily switch to Lemmy. 💪

People are more ready now than ever before.

Not sure how to understand this comment:

Lemmy is like 1000s of websites similar to reddit, doing its best to be as irrelevant as possible. Just use lemmy.world instead.

Already have.

Isn’t that why we’re on Lemmy? Plus federation.

Preaching to the choir.
