It’s no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it’s still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What’s more, I don’t think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!

    Any topics outside of memes, IT and politics are nearly non-existent.

    This place is heavily skewed towards a specific niche of mostly males that are chronically online

      Isn‘t the approach from OP tackling exactly that problem? Or do you think it will be too much for switchers to set up a community here?

        They could tackle that problem exactly by creating an instance that reposts whatever gets posted to reddit subs. Asking reddit mods to help is just pathetic and won’t work.

          Sure bub, “every single” website… surely you’re talking about leftist media that covers for the president left and right, refuses to take hardball questions - your ilk are encouragable. Always accusing others of what you yourselves are guilty of. It was your party who supported slavery, and your party who breached the California capitol in the 60s with firearms. It was your party that shot up the congressional baseball game.

          Always censoring what you can’t stand to hear … you are the minority but cry the loudest. Red wave.

              Your beliefs in the scheme of things mean nothing really. Everyone around you thinking the exact same mindless zombie thoughts does not constitute a majority, even if in your head.

              I know most of your inspirations likely do spring from your own head, just like whatever undoubted mental health issues you’ve got going on.
