The next rexit is coming, we need to be ready

Old Reddit link

Recently we've seen a spike in PieFed users, a lot of this came form raising awareness of PieFed's existence on Reddit.

Here's some info you'd need if you want to help raise awareness of PieFed on reddit.

Reddit uses AI to make a summary of a users behavior that it shows to mods, and will flag people who seem spammy eg.

Steps to make a successful reddit post:

1. Don’t have a sus account
2. Make it a image post with a nice catching image (Most important)
3. Don’t include any links away from reddit in the post, don’t even add it to the comments (have others do that)

These 3 posts got ~500,000 views between them

• Don't go and spam reddit with low effort content. It can do more harm than good.
• Don't post to the same sub more than once a month
• Don't post links in the comments of your own post unless it's already gone viral, instead let others post links or let people figure it out for themselves.

I've tried to promote Lemmy in the past, but Immediately I get comments of people complaining about the UI, UX and tankies which kills all momentum. I've had much better success with PieFed so sticking to that going forward.

They removed a post I made about the threadiverse. No mod reason. Ghosted me.

On a recent thread I mentioned this. (On topic). It was immediately removed by the mods again. No removal reason. Just silently censored.

Feel free to help lost redditors

Today the first of Feb is Global Switch day, Spread awareness of the Fediverse in your communities.

Users claim that ice list is being blocked by reddit as well.

Lots of lemmy and piefed mentions.

Let's ask them to join !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Any chance they dump their money into the Fediverse? Any chance the money actually exists? 🤣

If we really want to figure which instances to suggest, it could maybe be good to have some additional statistics tracked per instance, and compare to the global averages. It might even be able to influence default choices for like the join-lemmy website.

I understand this might sound gross, but maybe there's a good idea in here?

• user retention (percentage of users that are still active after 6 months? 1 month?)
• percentage of anonymous visits that result in a signup (ignore those that result in a login)
• ban rate
• signup acceptance/rejection speed
• percentage of accepted signups vs failed/declined (maybe this just promotes accepting spammers)
• average time spent on signup page
• bounce rate of signup page (opened but never completed)

Asking for volunteer communities to test it with.
