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?
At this point, anyone who was part of the 3rd party app protests who stayed and didn't make the switch clearly didn't want to jump here, so they'll probably be on rโฌdd!t for a long time.
What if they didn't know Lemmy existed?
I'd like to think the people involved heard about Lemmy because we essentially kept saying, "Hey, we're jumping ship!", but I can't remember if we did or not. I'm pretty sure there was some migrate to Lemmy sub that was also advertised in the saving 3rd party apps sub, but I, again, can't remember whether that actually happened.
I'd definitely like to think anyone in the protest 100% knew about Lemmy unless they actually weren't paying any attention whatsoever.
Yeah, I found out about Lemmy then and joined right away. Lemmy was definitely talked about a lot then.
Hmm, I think many users just weren't aware. No everyone follows the main subreddits, or checks r/all. Not all subs closed. I guess the majority of users saw some stuff pass by but probably didn't read into it too much. You know, most people spent the majority of their awake time working to "make a living".
