Isnโ€™t that why weโ€™re on Lemmy? Plus federation.

Preaching to the choir.

Not sure how to understand this comment:

Lemmy is like 1000s of websites similar to reddit, doing its best to be as irrelevant as possible. Just use lemmy.world instead.

It's really good more people are talking about Lemmy on Reddit. It gives Lemmy more exposure and more and more users are making the switch from Reddit to Lemmy because of it! ๐ŸŽ‰

We should all be making posts regularly on Reddit about how to easily switch to Lemmy. ๐Ÿ’ช

People are more ready now than ever before.

I'm going point people straight to Summit's website to avoid them getting lost in the play store.

[โ€“] username968142@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Or just abandon Reddit for Lemmy once and for all.

[โ€“] Yves_t@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What about post original here and crosspost over there strategy ?

[โ€“] Blaze@piefed.zip 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You'll get banned from most of the subs

[โ€“] XTL@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

So, win-win.

[โ€“] Scrollone@feddit.it 5 points 2 months ago

I think they limit posts to Lemmy... ๐Ÿฅถ

Deleted my account a month ago. If I need to read something really important, I do it via libredirect.

Only the fediverse deserves my full attention.

"Perfect is the enemy of good" or something so I think having that sub is not ironic. But I agree in principle or else I would not have been here.

Reddit or social media in general should be the last thing we switch, simply because we need to reach as many people as possible. If we give that up too early, the movement dies instantly. You cannot convince people to switch if they can't even see your posts.

This is half right half cope. You aren't forced to use a single social media. You can switch while remaining.

Also I cracked up seeing someone say "as a Lemmy user" then noticing their name was guillotines now. Very on brand.

[โ€“] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Already have.

[โ€“] derry@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

Yes. Not just because it's American but because it's a capitalist shithole

[โ€“] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Better late than never.
