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?
Create content and participate to make Lemmy more attractive.
Best I can do is talk about Linux.
Which distro?
Installing tumbleweed rn
Great distro by the way.
All my homies use Hannah Montana Linux
Real OGs peer beyond the *nix veil and graduate to TempleOS
Baby’s first OS. The actual OGs graduate back to SLS.
The archetypical answer should be obvious
NixOS, BTW
Then do that. There are many Linux communities on Lemmy, participate in them and try to make them a better place by contributing useful comments and posts.
In my case I found that creating a community that was missing here, then regularly populating it with content, has worked wonders. That it was not just a good way to get myself engaged here, as well as to grow the Fediverse, but to attract users from Reddit and other places given a bit of cross-posting.
Seriously, I’m not sure how many people understand that right now, given that new content is generated relatively slowly across the FV, that any new community putting quality stuff out there is going to get a *hugely* larger proportion of eyes on it. That’s compared to similar communities on Reddit, FB, etc, in which smaller / newer communities tend to get completely drowned out in the ALL streams.
My own niche community (Euro graphic novels) already has 350+ subscribers in less than 90 days. Even for Reddit that’s a nice jump-start and growth. Which is why I urge people to jump on this opportunity now, because eventually it’s probably going to dry up.
Indeed, maybe it would be good to get this message out to people on Reddit, FB, etc who always wanted to start a sub/community, but the opportunities were ‘all filled up’ already.
I never have anything interesting to say
Flawed premise.
Lemmy is not reddit nor should it aspire to be.
We don’t want to attract reddit users, we simply want vibrant communities.
This type of attitude results in turds that won’t flush like lemmit.online et al - a blight upon our fertile landscape.
Wow, do so many people believe Lemmy user are that much different than Reddit user? I mean I can totally forego all the bots, incels and astroturfing, but I do believe they migrate automatically once a platform got big enough. I don’t think there’s any way to stop that unless you want to keep Lemmy small forever.
Lemmy needs to grow because Reddit needs to go. Reddit has become too powerful for a greedy company like that.
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.

Some are, but some are even worse than reddit, for example the cursed reddit custom of profile downvote… actually never happened to me on reddit but here it’s constant.
Reddit made it so you can’t downvote from a profile page, it simply wouldn’t count. You had to open every comment individually and vote on them. Sorry that it is happening to you. Maybe make a new account, karma isn’t that important, yet we all feel more welcome if there’s positive votes.
Nah i don’t give a shit about karma i’m just genuinly depressed people are this angry and petty. But then again it’s not really surprising since it’s mostly coming from the US bootlickers.
It also skews the point of downvotes even as disagree button.

I didn’t know that lol, support my theory of some places (.world for example) being really worse than reddit.
Users don’t care if Lemmy or the Fediverse is more “free” or which technical features are superior to what Reddit offers.
Most users want a place to find content and basically doomscroll. You want users that will submit new content, not just lurkers. So in order to attract people here, the best way to do so is to submit new content.

Who is “us”, who is “we”?
And who the fuck thinks anyone should be funnelling (no less) the toxic cesspit that is reddit over here?
This post sounds like some bullshit written by the marketing department of a clueless corporation trying to find ways to exploit the latest “thing”.
I bet their are a bunch of people here on Lemmy from before the reddit exodus that vomited reading that post.
First time I feel like being part of the locust.
Mod tools. Steal the moderators and the communities will follow
You don’t. There just isnt enough content. I stopped using reddit for months but now use it again when I am using my PC. Reddit for PC with RES and lemmy for phone is a good balance I found out. At least until they kill RES
res
Honestly at this point the people that stay on Reddit just liked getting fucking in the ass by big tech companies or are just too stupid to not be fucked in the ass
I dunno, let reddit keep fucking around and they’ll come over. More engagement is always good but nothing gets better when there are more people on it.
Post more from humans, no ai content
As an AI language model, I concur with this assessment.
Don’t worry about user numbers. Worry about developing niche communities here. With different personalities. That’s the magic to make a garden grow.
They will leave when they reach their breaking point and not before. Part of this has to do with changes implemented by Reddit the company. Part of this has to do with quality of user generated content. Unless you are going to tank quality by making bad posts on Reddit or running a bunch of bots to do the same, I doubt you’ll have much of an effect.
I suppose the only thing
LennyLemmy can do is advertise and Reddit isn’t good at allowing that so I’ve heard.Don’t want to. This is good as it is. There’s already a fair crack of wowsers here, and that’s already too many. The discussion here was pretty amazing a while back, but it’s already dumbing down as this place grows.
Post Lemmy content on Reddit on the same way X content is posted on Reddit. Those interested will stay.
