    What can we do to get more people to switch over to Lemmy from Reddit?

      I guess once more and more content is posted here, naturally more people will come. And also any further steps of reddit enthitiffication will move people over.

        Can we actively do something to help this process?

          yes. do what i’ve been doing. tell your irl acquaintances about the fediverse. tell them about the lack of algorithm and the lack of ads. tell them about the lack of billionaires farming you and yours for data.

            Already on it! ✊

            But I think we need a simple elevator pitch to win them over. No ads is definitely a great start.

                That’s true. Quantity over quality.

          The main thing is post more. Lack of content is the main reason people don’t use Lemmy more, and the only way to fix this is to share/produce more.

          Its a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I think even (transparent, community-relevant) bots are a good idea at this point, given that 99% of interests have little to no activity currently. For example, if we had bots that post game update changelogs to their relevant communities, it would at least provide a baseline amount of content and make it easier to discuss for fans of those games.

      Some forum software is starting to support activitypub with plugins. If they add the plugin then you can follow and interact with the forum from Lemmy. The best option for everyone is to start pestering forum admins to add those plugins so they get users and Lemmy gets more content.

      Long term creating migration scripts for popular forum software like phpBB, so content, users, etc, can be moved to a custom Lemmy instance would be an option.

        That sounds like an awesome idea! I’m sure that many forum owners don’t even know that they can federate.

          I honestly don’t remember exactly but I think people were complaining about Reddit’s trajectory and someone mentioned lemmy voyager so I download it immediately.

            Cool. And are you still using Reddit or are you using Lemmy exclusively?

      Start copying as many of the top searches that bring people to Reddit. Have them answered here, possibly in more detail, or maybe copy paste.

      I keep an eye for engaging content on reddit and just rip it here. Mastodon and I think even BlueSky ran on repost bots in the early days. People have to find stuff here first.

      I think, though, I stuck a Leminal Space link in my bio or upvoted a Luigi and got banned. So, not sure if you can directly link to Leminal over there or not.

        I have thought about creating a bot to crosspost content from reddit here but I suppose they will quickly block access. RSS could work to a degree, but it doesn’t include the full content and media.

        If you or somebody else has ideas, I’m listening.

        I have a link to my instance in the bio and regularly post about it and haven’t had problems with exposure until now.

              FYI, the general consensus is that people disliked it as it was just a systematic repost bot from Reddit.

              Reposting from Reddit is fine, but you need to filter the good content from the bad one

                I thought about only crossposting uprising content and only a few a day. Simply crossposting everything would be definitely a bad idea.
