Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Do you have ideas to get more people to move over from Reddit to Lemmy?

    A lot of people use reddit in Google searches because it has high quality information. Ie solving technical problems etc. This sort of information needs to be hosted here. If Lemmy wants to be the new reddit, it needs to host this sort of helpful, high quality information that other users upvote

    whatisthisthing, and whatisthisplant were very interesting niche subs. it will be hard for people to come here, as there are also adjacent subs. also medical conditions too they are found on a ton of forums.

    Make 1 to 1 copies of existing subreddits and maybe some kind of automation tool to take the subreddits someone is currently part of and subscribe the Lemmy versions of them automatically. That plus for now some people could repost content from these subreddits to Lemmy, so the feed isn't so empty and also I don't know how Google crawlers work exactly but searching for Reddit posts through Google is a big benefit of Reddit for me, if Lemmy could also show up in Google results or if Lemmy builds it's own internal search to a level that's equal to or better than Google that would also help

    automation tool

    I'm currently plan something like this. But I don't think just posting everything would be a good idea. I thought about a few uprising posts a day at most per community.

    Google

    Lemmy already gets indexed by search engines.

    I've started Europe Pub about 10 days ago and Google has already indexed hundreds of pages: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aeurope.pub

    Wish I did. I love discussing wrestling, I love very old wrestling from the 60s to 90s, and some new stuff here and there. But Lemmy has no wrestling communities that are even a little active, the ones I’ve seen have 2 months old posts as their “new”
