Any luck getting the ask historian mods to switch over to lemmy. That I think would tip the scale permanently
They did make a post about it, Lemmy is no where near large enough for them to be interested. Their mission is to showcase history on a large public platform.
They said they are not happy with how the company has acted, but it would take a much bigger issue to get them to consider moving.
Wonder what the thing that would be tipping point for them would look like.
Either way - shame. I really enjoyed that sub.
It would take times, the more informative content we have (even the what's your top 5 thing posts) that common people use search engine to look up for and find, the more we will get exposure, just like how reddit find its audience. Imo, as long as lemmy doesn't get into front page of search engine, I'm afraid the number of lemmyverse users that migrate from reddit won't sharply increase unless reddit does more fuckups. This might also mean, there will be inevitably one or a select few big lemmy instances that will get more exposure.
In any case, it's not necessarily a bad thing; Lemmy (and kbin) needs a lot of improvement to be accessible to most people. Let people that are tech-savvy and those who are passionate in open-source projects improve it first. Otherwise, others will try and find lemmy too complicated to use as it is right now and not interested in using it later down the road.
