Every reddit-brained geek said the same thing about LD and then ended up liking it so I’m glad Paramount isn’t listening to the fearful fans.

Risk is our business!

I’ve never seen an ad-based tier on a Mastodon instance and the network does just fine 🤷‍♂️

Without executives leeching money from going to the actual cost of servers things seem to work better! Go figure!

I opened this thread to type out this exact comment but somehow you typed up the exact same thing before me?

Yes absolutely, it depends on the context. The overall goal of such a community I think should just be to “put it out there”, and have people on reddit at least casually aware that Lemmy exists the same way people on Twitter are (now) aware of BlueSky and Mastodon.

I was a mod for over a decade, believe me even if it gets removed, a quickly-upvoted comment will still get tons of attention 😈

I made a comment elsewhere in this thread, but I would be interested in helping out with a recruitment effort! Maybe it’s time to set up a Lemmy “get the word out” community?

I would be interested in helping with a coordinated effort to promote Lemmy instances on Reddit. Sometimes I check in on /r/RedditAlternatives and it’s clear 90% of the people who would be happy with Lemmy have already left for Lemmy. But there are many threads where a simple “maybe check out Lemmy I like it a lot” could do a lot of help. It’s not like users need to quit Reddit but every post on a Lemmy instance (even if it’s also on Reddit) helps make our instances more appealing.

Perhaps setting up a community here to link to such threads could be a useful idea? And we could get talking points aligned as well.
