@asklemmy@lemmy.world Would you like a Reddit Bridge?
We already have a Twitter Bridge for Mastodon and an Instagram Bridge is being worked on by the same .makeup team / person.
Would you like to see Reddit Bridged / Mirrored so you could see the posts you've been 'missing' off here?
You're viewing part of a thread.
How do we get those more valuable users across then? Those that want to post quality non-AI gen content
I don't know, it's not something I actively think about, I like how Lemmy is atm, I like being able to have a civil discussion or be able to post something without angry people being angry, I know some live here, but they're way more tolerable than over there.
Just let it grow organically.
How is something meant to grow organically with no advertisement?
A bridge isn't exactly advertising tho, advertising would be telling Reddit users about Lemmy, linking posts from Lemmy to Reddit, or talking about Lemmy there in general, a bridge is just gonna make Lemmy worse in my opinion. Like I said, we came here because we didn't like Reddit.
Word of mouth is by far the best way to advertise Lemmy.
Word of mouth is great if people genuinely talk about it, like I do my best to talk about these sorts of software but it has just turned to 'Here we go again' more than 'Yeah I want to join'. Any new people I talk to about it just seem not interested.
In the wild I've never really met anyone that is trying to advertise anything like this, so we might need a little more than just word of mouth.
You're never going to convince them all that Lemmy is better, because it might not be better for them.
Lemmy is better than Reddit for me but I have a mate who didn't enjoy it as much.
Lemmy will get some of the Reddit users, some will go to one of the others and the rest will stay put.
I'm constantly seeing new users who have jumped over here, so it's going good,l I think.

We are a subset of a subset of internet users, you rarely heard people in the wild advertising Reddit either.
Lemmy is fine and will continue to grow in its natural way.

Not to go full 'Eternal September', but I would almost argue that around the time reddit was talked about on more mainstream platforms is around the time that reddit started going down hill. Subs started getting harder to keep on track and moderation began going off the rails.
On the plus side, shit like "le narwal bacons at midnight" started to die off too, so it wasn't all bad I guess.
bruh..
