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?

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?

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

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.
