Comment on Advertising Lemmy on r/place
Enigma@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoLike I said, there are discords and redditors already doing this. One discord is doing 3PA icons, another was discussing between a QR code that links to Lemmy, or just the url. There are going to be tons of small “API” everywhere like the among us in the 2017 place, we’ll probably see large ones as well. Sending Lemmy users to reddit will do more harm than good.

Reddit has over 500 million monthly users. If we got 100,000 Lemmings to go over there, that would give them 0.02% more traffic. And realistically, it would be a miracle if even 10,000 of you fine folk participated in this plan.
I don’t know how many people will see it, I don’t know if they will eventually erase it, but either way, it’s better than doing nothing.

I pointed out other things that people are doing, things that involve lemmy. At the end of the day, everyone who is tired of Reddits bullshit has already left. No one is going to leave Reddit just because we put the url to lemmy on the canvas. I just honestly don’t see the point of encouraging people away from Reddit by telling them to get on Reddit, even if it’s just a couple days.

I could not disagree more. Human beings are much less rational than you seem to believe.
I’m just trying to do my part to keep growing this platform. You don’t have to participate and it may not work. But to say you don’t see the point of trying to recruit redditors to Lemmy when we have fewer than 100,000 active users? Really? The point is we need more users!

Hey, I scroll reddit for the NSFW content every day, so… it wouldn’t make much difference to me anyway 🤷.
