Genuine question, since the subreddit r/BuyFromEU is becoming larger and larger, actual migration feels due. Of course, we should use both platforms but right now using Reddit is more valuable and hence this platform is relatively small…
Any ideas?
I don’t think our goal here is to compete with reddit. We’re happy when people come to us from Reddit, but we don’t have to actively promote it. Of course lemmy was set up as an alternative to reddit, but we don’t have to repeat all the mistakes.
The Reddit mods remove posts mentioning Lemmy
I try to post on !buyeuropean@feddit.uk when I see an opportunity, but those posts get removed quite fast
They also ignore people asking about Lemmy promotion in the comments: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1j3b8a4/weve_just_reached_100k_members_now_lets_break_out/
Otherwise, !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com has a few resources as pinned posts
i don’t think you should convince them. maybe suggest it and otherwise let them suffer by their own hand
Make Lemmy a nice place with a nice atmosphere, nice people and meaningful information and discussions. Once it shines, people will want to come here.
Never convince. If the topic comes up, mention it. Be a living example on how you are convinced Lemmy is the future and people will look into it.
Trying to convince someone is just like trying to change someone’s opinion. It never works. You will either be bothering them or they start thinking of arguments why you’re wrong and become suspicious because you’re selling them something.
