It’s no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it’s still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What’s more, I don’t think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!
On one hand I can’t say that we shouldn’t try. On the other hand, If we let nature take its course it gives us time to scale. Until they pull a full-on dig 2.0 which might be very close, It would be kind of nice just to have a gentle increasing onslaught coming into our breach.
They did that Friday with the site redesign, well damn close to it. Not a complete sell out like Digg was.
Those poor bastards. I’m kinda shocked the investors and employees haven’t had a mutiny yet.
Wait, what did they redesign this time?
There was a new front page layout up Friday.
