because reddit is trying to begin their IPO i might as well try to help lower it

goal: get reddit users to switch to lemmy

how to: use trowaway accounts, if you dont wanna make your own trowaway accounts use mine

username: Longjunping_Shock524 password: beerbeer5

ps: reddit will probably ban it because of the amount of different ip's so lets try to agree on one vpn ip like for example calyx vpn

fuck spez, ban threads (the meta one)

My strategy is to build better communities here on Lemmy instead. There will always be frustrated users looking for an alternative platform, so why not focus on the destination rather than starting them on their journey. If there isn’t anything mildly developed elsewhere, why consider leaving in the first place?

[-] Betch@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

This.

I also don't think it's a good idea to go to other communities with the intention of spamming and shilling Lemmy.

What we have is a really nice start and we should work on making it nicer instead of just trying to force things and risk just becoming another Reddit.

I agree, we don't need another Reddit, we just need to show that it is a better place for people to experience some of what Reddit gives people. Communities and stuff need to be active, especially smaller ones. A lot of gaming communities aren't active on here and would be greatly improved if the gaming scene had a place to go other than Reddit.

Gaming is normally what boosts a lot of communities, websites and projects on the internet to a bigger place and that could be a start for Lemmy / Mbin.

This is exactly what is needed. So many people moved back to Reddit after the first time because of users having years of posts on Reddit allowing for easier search.

Be careful, spamming communities to talk about Lemmy will very likely get your account banned

[-] VEXdotblue@kbin.run 1 points 2 months ago

It's also the case of people don't look at spam and go 'lets try this random site that people are promoting'

it's just a throwaway one

[-] iso@lemy.lol 5 points 3 months ago

nah let them find it themselves.

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 4 points 3 months ago

100 bucks that some reddit shill will change the password. Maybe share it in dms instead.

Otherwise, great idea.

i have a email linked

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

What?

If there was enough here for this to be a plan, it would not be a good one.

[-] Betch@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

No

[-] VEXdotblue@kbin.run 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, they almost killed their platform with the API changes and many people moved across when that sort of thing happened. It just sucks that Reddit is still going even to know there are better options out there.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
