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?

Wow, do so many people believe Lemmy user are that much different than Reddit user?

Some are, but some are even worse than reddit, for example the cursed reddit custom of profile downvote... actually never happened to me on reddit but here it's constant.

Reddit made it so you can't downvote from a profile page, it simply wouldn't count. You had to open every comment individually and vote on them. Sorry that it is happening to you. Maybe make a new account, karma isn't that important, yet we all feel more welcome if there's positive votes.

Nah i don't give a shit about karma i'm just genuinly depressed people are this angry and petty. But then again it's not really surprising since it's mostly coming from the US bootlickers.

It also skews the point of downvotes even as disagree button.

Reddit made it so you can’t downvote from a profile page, it simply wouldn’t count.

I didn't know that lol, support my theory of some places (.world for example) being really worse than reddit.
