No Reddit account, you aren’t using their shitty app; IDK, seems like a win to me.
Reddit “traffic” doesn’t really mean or do anything for them(mainly at this scale).

Doesn’t this just direct traffic to Reddit? Why do you want to do that?

but it could be effort towards lemmy, instead of going to reddit to see some content you can actively create content or comment on lemmy so that hopefully the content you liked on reddit will start to grow on lemmy, it takes effort but its the only way for it to work

I’ve been doing this but even getting one community going takes work. I can’t launch them all, and I’m still contributing about half of the content to my community.
Lemmy is just too small for some topics to take off until we get another big wave of growth. In the mean time I think visiting a few niche subs is not going to kill anyone, and we can keep working to grow Lemmy at the same time. These approaches aren’t mutually exclusive.

Indirectly? yes. But there are some subs like r/progresspics r/gainit etc that haven’t moved to other platforms and have good content on them related to the niche the serve. Also the occasional google search that takes you to reddit.
