Genuine question, since the subreddit r/BuyFromEU is becoming larger and larger, actual migration feels due. Of course, we should use both platforms but right now using Reddit is more valuable and hence this platform is relatively small...

Any ideas?

I didn’t know an alternative to Reddit existed, until somebody pointed it out on Reddit. Perhaps those of you that still use Reddit should make users aware …?

I'm not sure about convince but:

  • Help people out on Reddit who need a hand signing up - there are quite a few of us on there directing people to the fire exits.
  • Make Lemmy awesome - pitch in on [email protected] and/or if you see a need for a community then start it, you can always get help at [email protected].

This is a really good idea. The place to help people sign up is not on Lemmy, but where the users are.

Hopefully in the future the sign up process (and the orientation experience that follows) will improve drastically on Lemmy. But I don’t see it happening soon.

I didnt know about Lemmy until I got banned from Reddit yesterday and did a search for apps like Reddit.

Here a take

  • Baby Boomers: It's like making phone calls directly to friends without going through a central operator.

  • Generation X: Think of it as a collection of independent websites where you can share and connect, like a bunch of forums that can talk to each other.

  • Millennials: Imagine a mix of social media platforms where you can post and interact freely, like having your own space on different apps that all connect.

  • Generation Z: It's like a giant chatroom where you can use different apps, but everyone can still see and talk to each other, no matter which one you’re on!

Make Lemmy a nice place with a nice atmosphere, nice people and meaningful information and discussions. Once it shines, people will want to come here.

Having more server focused on interests that are not technology

Taking for example this community, this should be together with Europe and yurop and ask European etc on a EU focused server, not scattered between generalistic instances that are also hard to navigate because they are a mess

Feddit.org is a German instance

Lemm.ee is Estonian.

Feddit.uk is from the UK.

Where do you expect

And this community to be all on one instance?

The technology instances are lemmy.zip or lemmy.dbzer0.com. Feddit.org is not a technology instance.

Reverse psychology. Advise that it's not for just everyone and warn people to stay away. It's full of radical lefties here, it's not for you normies, stick to what you know. Keep drinking that kool-aid.
