Update: post deleted Most popular thread on /r/Redditalternatives is promoting Discuit, despite it having 185 weekly active users compared to the 44k on Lemmy. Feel free to chime in (old.reddit.com)

Also, if you have doubts about brigading, Discuit have a brigading post on their meta community: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/pTyw2MZw

I would be interested in helping with a coordinated effort to promote Lemmy instances on Reddit. Sometimes I check in on /r/RedditAlternatives and it's clear 90% of the people who would be happy with Lemmy have already left for Lemmy. But there are many threads where a simple "maybe check out Lemmy I like it a lot" could do a lot of help. It's not like users need to quit Reddit but every post on a Lemmy instance (even if it's also on Reddit) helps make our instances more appealing.

Perhaps setting up a community here to link to such threads could be a useful idea? And we could get talking points aligned as well.

Sounds like a great idea! Any reason these couldn't be posted right here in !fedigrow@lemm.ee? I think promoting the fediverse and growing the userbase falls well within the scope of c/fedigrow.

Certainly would fit here but a dedicated space I think would function better for coordinating a specific task.

!fedigrow@lemm.ee should definitely work, I'll have try to see if there were recent posts and try to link them there

However, be aware thar most of the mods are going to remove mentions of Reddit alternatives.

I was a mod for over a decade, believe me even if it gets removed, a quickly-upvoted comment will still get tons of attention 😈

The annoying part is getting banned and not being able to comment anymore 😔
