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?
The true answer… get all the only-fans folks here and everyone else will follow. We need the content people crave and people crave bewbs.
the girls go where the crowds are, that’s just advertising
Yup! Porn is the backbone of reddit.
They will leave when they reach their breaking point and not before. Part of this has to do with changes implemented by Reddit the company. Part of this has to do with quality of user generated content. Unless you are going to tank quality by making bad posts on Reddit or running a bunch of bots to do the same, I doubt you’ll have much of an effect.
I suppose the only thing
LennyLemmy can do is advertise and Reddit isn’t good at allowing that so I’ve heard.I suppose the only thing Lenny can do is advertise and Reddit isn’t good at allowing that so I’ve heard.
If we pay they will put it on the front page 😂

The best thing about Lemmy is that it’s not R.
Relay for Reddit charged me a subscription so I found this place just this week. It’s like old Reddit.
I’ve been on Lemmy for 3 months and it’s frustrating.
More and better NSFW content isn’t the answer, but it certainly helps!
I would heartily endorse quality over quantity on this front. I’ve had to block a few communities and users. And there is at least one Instance I have and will continue to block every community on, Yiff.
NSFW thots that post in multiple communities is actually worse on lemmy. Maybe because it’s a smaller audience and there are less communities or less posters.
I’ve blocked several users because I just kept getting the same posts. It doesn’t seem to be helping.
Users who care about privacy and not being exploited and targeted with shitty ads are already here.
The majority are Ben Dovers and don’t mind getting fucked.
Don’t worry about user numbers. Worry about developing niche communities here. With different personalities. That’s the magic to make a garden grow.
If Risa can be the single greatest place to post star whack memes on the internet, any community can grow with enough time. Lemmy is fine.
We owe it all to the poet Morn. What a character.
I was rolling on the ground yesterday catching up on Car Talk with Martok.
Exactly! This isn’t about monetization, so raw numbers don’t matter. As long as a given community has enough active members to promote continued use and provide its members with interesting material, that’s enough.
It doesn’t matter how niche, it matters how active we are. I’ve been bored by “hot” for a while since it’s just 1h old trash, and “active” just leads me to day old threads. I want to participate in 4 hour old threads that have a lot of comments and a lot of activity and people still replying.
Even a day old posts have many active users.
Top 6 hours?
Top 6 hours will only bring me the most upvoted across the site, not the most active for a community or anything like that. On Reddit, I used to get posts with a couple dozen comments for super niche communities that I’m subbed to on the hot filter. It was fun seeing those pop up and be active and highlighted on my feed.
There is a new sorting (Best?) on the way with the new major version of the Lemmy backend, that takes a community’s size into consideration. That should solve this issue.
Wait, aren’t you just using active and checking in and replying every few days when you got a bit of time spare? 🤔
Agreed. We need both.
Now we’re active a minute ago
Watermarks!! Just add that cute Lemmy watermark to all Lemmy posts! That will make people come over here for sure!!!
I bet their are a bunch of people here on Lemmy from before the reddit exodus that vomited reading that post.
First time I feel like being part of the locust.
Yes, that’s me. I like it here, people are nicer in general. When I read some comments on political posts, it reminds me of Reddit and I quit. I don’t want them here, let Lemmy grow naturally or not at all. It’s hypocrisy I know, but just go look at r/all on Reddit and read the comments and justify wanting them here. Nope.
Cross post from Lemmy to Reddit. But we must raise the question if we really want that. Reddit became toxic over the past few years, and I think people on Lemmy right night are in general different. Do we want to turn Lemmy into Reddit?
I don’t think we do no. Reddit (users) has long been known for its “know-it-all” elitist attitude. I dunno if that is a natural consequence of the voting system but we shouldn’t try to replicate it.
Meanwhile, my experience on Lemmy has been a whole lot of “you don’t like Stalin because you haven’t read enough Chomsky.”
It’s actually worse than reddit in many ways.
You’re on an instance that uses very few blocked instances. Perhaps you should sign up on an instance that blocks tankies instead? Remember that the instances that your instance is federated with also determines your feed since their votes are counted as well.
Instead of crossposting everything, maybe just do it for specific topics.
Large subreddits are (and have often been) toxic. Niche interest ones are mostly fine
Message the mods of your favourite subreddit(s) and ask them if they want to create the same over on Lemmy or should you? :-)
I don’t want Lemmy to grow.
