No commentary here. I just think we should find more comrades and bring them into our fold. How do we do it? Post your ideas, no matter how wild. Maybe someone will see it and get inspired and make something happen.

Agree that providing resources other sites don't or can't will attract people

I think well worded effort posts could be picked up by search engines or easily spread to other sites but then we'd have to effort post deeper-sadness

Memes are good but the basic ones are a dime a dozen, effort posts and resources are way more difficult to compile on other sites

Yandex really likes us but federation devalues us on Google and Bing

I've never found any Lemmy post by searching even though I know there are relevant posts to things I search for. I mostly use duck duck go. Is Lemmy even included in search engines?

I use duckduckgo and before when I've search niche leftist topics that I've seen on here, ive gotten results from this site

That may have been before we federated though?
