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?

    You’ve missed my point.

    I’m simply saying that migrating reddit users en-masse is the wrong objective. Just make lemmy awesome and allow users to come organically.

    I couldn’t care less what happens to reddit. Let them hang around and soak up all the idiots.

      I’d like to echo this point. As soon as you set your objective to pull in Reddit users, you’ve set yourself up as the “Reddit alternative”, you’ll be chasing Reddit features and attempting to please the Reddit users. To succeed at this game is to essentially end up creating Reddit, but never surpassing.

      In my opinion, Lemmy needs to have a clear mindset on what Lemmy is and what it isn’t, then stick to that.

        It would be a real luxury to have that clear mindset, but I don’t think that’s possible.

        Lemmy is something like a teenager. It needs time for its own identity and culture to coalesce. For now I think the best we can do is to avoid the notion that we’re alt-reddit.
