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!

    Lemmy user: “You should try Lemmy”

    Redditor: “Sure, what’s its website?”

    Lemmy user: “there are many, here’s a list, just pick one, you can always use a different one later”

    Redditor: “ok cool I’m glad you explained it in a simple way that is easy for me to understand I will use lemmy exclusively now”

      If it was that easy to convince Redditors, we’d already have a very diverse userbase. But by all means, keep spreading the word. We all want Lemmy to succeed.
