Took me way too long to join Lemmy but here I am!!! Fuck spez.
Welcome!
What about post original here and crosspost over there strategy ?
You'll get banned from most of the subs
So, win-win.
I think they limit posts to Lemmy... ๐ฅถ
Better late than never.
Isnโt that why weโre on Lemmy? Plus federation.
Preaching to the choir.
I think the best way to convince people to use the fediverse is by pointing out they are likely already using social media other than just reddit, so they should add the fediverse into the mix instead of being so hesitant about it.
Trying to make it like a reddit replacement I think is adding some barrier to adoption psychologically. But, these same people are fine using reddit, twitter, instagram, threads, tiktok, bluesky, etc. So it's not like they dont have room to also use the fediverse like lemmy.
Deleted my account a month ago. If I need to read something really important, I do it via libredirect.
Only the fediverse deserves my full attention.
It's really good more people are talking about Lemmy on Reddit. It gives Lemmy more exposure and more and more users are making the switch from Reddit to Lemmy because of it! ๐
We should all be making posts regularly on Reddit about how to easily switch to Lemmy. ๐ช
People are more ready now than ever before.
Someone should tell them it is possible to use reddit and also lemmy. And reddit removing posts is a good reason to use both, so content that disappears on reddit continues to be accessible on the fediverse.
I'm going point people straight to Summit's website to avoid them getting lost in the play store.
Or just abandon Reddit for Lemmy once and for all.
"Perfect is the enemy of good" or something so I think having that sub is not ironic. But I agree in principle or else I would not have been here.

Reddit or social media in general should be the last thing we switch, simply because we need to reach as many people as possible. If we give that up too early, the movement dies instantly. You cannot convince people to switch if they can't even see your posts.
This is half right half cope. You aren't forced to use a single social media. You can switch while remaining.
Also I cracked up seeing someone say "as a Lemmy user" then noticing their name was guillotines now. Very on brand.
Already have.
What about... yes, of course!?
