How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I'm just sick of Reddit.

The communities there seem much more active than the once on lemmy, which is not a surprise.

However, I oftentimes find myself doom scrolling through reddit, just because of some nonsense BS propaganda, ads, etc .., snuck inbetween of the community posts I'm actually interested in.

How can we convince the people over there to move away?

Advertise one instance instead of just saying "join lemmy"

id go a step further and say you need to draw a sub to a specific community. its hard moving users though when reddit actually attempts to prevent it by banning you for trying.

But wouldn't advertising one instance backfire and lead to huge server loads on that instance?

That’s not a problem you have to worry about right now, it’s more so not enough people are trying out the platform.

Recommending the instance you’re on Lemm.ee is the way to go.
