How about bridging over to bluesky? If they could follow and comment threads, the userbase explodes 10-fold (compared to the current exposure to mastodon).

Well, having an illustrated web page where it is simply explained how mastodon users can use lemmy as the equivalent of facebook groups would also give us pretty good exposure. Most mastodon users don’t know the difference between mastodon and the fediverse.

i think the main issue is that bluesky/mastodon are user-centric (like Twitter) while Lemmy is content-centric (like Reddit) i wrote about this here: discuss.tchncs.de/post/52567886

Sure, these are two very different usability paradigms, but I think they are very well integrated by treating both groups and users on Lemmy as users on Mastodon. Mastodon and Lemmy are the vanilla examples, but a.gup.pe and m in show that the two coexist quite smoothly. It is “only” a question of how to map this onto BridgyFed.
