I don’t think enough folks even know what Lemmy is.
I have a product I’m trying to build and will be launching shortly to allow folks easy access to their own lemmy servers and I plan on running some ad campaigns.
There’s a group of us working on a join-lemmy banner, it’s a struggle tho since it’s such a small group.
Our Matrix chat is here for any who want to join in on the effort: https://matrix.to/#/!hiNoQZCxnHSsATzzmo:data.haus?via=data.haus&via=matrix.org
This is an awesome idea! I need to test my matrix setup anyways maybe I’ll set up my server then join
The problem is people are selling Lemmy the wrong way, lol. The average user doesn’t give a fuck about decentralization or federation. If you want to convince people that Lemmy is a good Reddit alternative, you have to show them the content/discussions and the UI/UX.
UI/UX is getting better, but still far away. The mobile apps are okay. Content is still behind, mostly because most lemmings aren’t helping their communities in generating content and engagement. The moderators can only do so much in curating. You got to help them out by posting content as well or at least commenting on the threads. Don’t just lurk.
If they still don’t know what lemmy is, they aren’t the type of educated we need to be pushing towards lemmy.
This has been my thought… I’m sure there is still an extremely large number of productive, healthy users left on reddit. However, I think the proportion of the userbase sways very heavily towards trolls, bots, and toxic users at this point.
I feel okay with shutting the hatch to a flooding chamber at the cost of a few, to save the many others on the ship…
Most of the healthy users have left reddit. Now just let reddit consume itself and fulfill its new destiny to become a bot-filled, anti-intellectual, hate-filled, giant corporate circle-jerk.
