Alright, not a bad idea.

rglullis@communick.news 10 months agoInstead of reposting, may I suggest you write a DM to the original poster and ask them to join Lemmy instead to post the content themselves? When bootstrapping the emacs community, I was doing that and I was getting a somewhat positive response. About at least 20% of them were signing up.
Also, now you can also mention that if they signup via portal.alien.top they will automatically be subscribed to all the lemmy communities that correspond to the equivalent subreddits.

alien.top has been defederated from Lemmy.world.

But this only means that the people on Lemmy.world don’t get to see the content posted by alien.top users. People on alien.top will still be able and participate on programming.dev normally…

It means that the alien.top users won’t be able to see the content posted by a plurality of users on lemmy instances. About 40% of activity on lemmy instances is from lemmy.world. And many of the communities that are stand-ins for subreddits are on lemmy.world.
It’s a poor initial experience to lemmy.

alien.top is still able to see content from LW.
