Comment on Idea for Fediverser: Community Ambassadors to reach out to the best reddit posters?

scytale@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

I dunno man, I don’t think many people would appreciate random DMs from people they don’t know, especially ones that are advertising/promoting something. It sounds spam-ish, even if they just receive a message once. Also, I would think a lot of prolific reddit posters have some sort of incentive for doing it (sponsors or just simply addicted to the karma). I don’t think a lot of them will be willing to do the same on a platform that doesn’t really give you any incentive (karma isn’t really a thing and sponsors wouldn’t want to invest in a very small and niche userbase).

To be fair, just telling people that Lemmy has Sync, Boost versions and Infinity and Apollo forks is enough to have them interested

  Yeah, and the one thing that I’m hoping to add soon is a content section to the Fediverser site with the most straightforward way possible to migrate:
  
  Go to alien.top’s portal
  
  Sign-in with reddit
  
  Show them the link to download their favorite client alongside with initial credentials.
  
  Realize that that they are already subscribed to all the subreddits they are used to follow.
  
  Profit.

If we want to get people out of reddit and into the fediverse, we will need to learn how to advertise and market it for the masses. It doesn’t need to mean that we should be taking a “spray and pray” approach, but if we get ~100 ambassadors for subreddits that fall into the “niche community” (less than 500k subscribers) and category and each sends 10 messages per day, even a (low) 10% response rate, would mean 100 new subscribers every day. We could even find a way to get converted subscribers to become Ambassador themselves, things would compound quickly

a lot of prolific reddit posters have some sort of incentive for doing it (sponsors or just simply addicted to the karma)

These posters could be “sold” on the idea not of migrating away, but on extending their reach even further.

  And it can also burn people.
  
  Someone tried to convince me to lemmy in 2022. And until the Reddit-thing this single message was the whole reason I didn’t even thought about joining lemmy. It was weird to me back then.
