Serious question, as I‘ve barely seen any mention of Lemmy on Reddit. None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware. Would it be against the TOS to start a coordinated promotion?
I found it on Reddit and seen it around, it‘s spreading. Might write some comments myself too, as long as I still have Apollo to do so; so far I am liking it here.
I found Lemmy through Reddit because of the protest. If anything, it works.
I found out about lemmy on Reddit by chance and they wouldn’t say it by name, told me “rhymes with many”. Sounded like saying it would get people kicked off. Which made me want it even more. 🤣
er, nothing? I found out about lemmy from reddit
You can promote it all you want on reddit, just always be polite and not obnoxious in any way or form. Not saying that you personally would be, but speaking in general terms too much energy into convincing people to come here might have a negative effect on other people’s motivation.
This! if I see people ask for alternatives I will recommend them, but I’m currently not going out of my way to force it down anyone’s throat.
I found out about lemmy from r/EDC where they mentioned in their B.O. post they would be at https://sopuli.xyz/c/edc
here’s the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/comments/145fxdb/reddit_is_killing_itself/
Hey :)
Welcome to lemmy. I’m the asshole mod that made the post lol.
If you post a hyperlink on Reddit to Lemmy, it will be autoremoved.
Try it now
Let’s see how long it stays up.
I dont think it’s againts rules, I found Lemmy because of Reddit.
I am trying to spread it on reddit but I am just a drop in the sea
Many drops make a puddle
Nothing so far.
The automod post I have set up at r/edc links to the sopuli.xyz/c/edc version.
At r/knives, we have both the lemmy and squabbles versions linked.
Neither myself, or the mods I comoderate with at the knives sub have faced any issues. This could change, but as long as you aren’t spamming the hell out of it, they aren’t coming after mods, or users doing it here and there.
There was the new sub, r/lemmymigration, that got pulled down then reinstated after backlash though, and the person running that got banned for a bit. There’s also been reports of anti-protest mods requesting, and getting, senior mods removed in their favor. All of which is bullshit that merits huffman getting kicked in the nads, but it was expected.
I tried around three years back and this is what I got: https://lemmy.ml/post/34509
I promoted the shit out of it right before the blackout. Only got banned from one subreddit. Who cares, not like I’m going back.
Every post about Lemmy gets automatically banned 🤔
Lemmy development really needs another couple weeks or a month. There are over 100 instances peering and it’s really pushing the database systems hard with the 100,000 users already. Database tuning and query optimization in the code is the order of the day. I also think some of the new front-end apps for web and smartphones would help.
There is r/lemmymigration and r/kbinmigration . Kbin got banned pretty quick, but seems reinstated now (at least I can see it on Stealth).
