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?

That fragmentation annoyed me too at the beginning, until somenoe tokd me something along the lines.

"It's like different reddit subs with each hsving their own mods and rules"...

So /c/gaming on instance A, and /c/gaming on instance B, would be like /r/gaming and /r/gamingfornoobs.

That's a good point. By each being its own server with own own rules and mods, my idea would make it harder on mods of the communities if people are not even aware of where they are posting.

Does your interface not show the instance with the community name?

I meant that as an extension to my original comment asking for all communities with the same name from different instances to show up in a mixed feed.

That's what usenet does.

Ptecisely, that's how I always saw it. Say /r/games and /r/gaming, ostensibly those should have the same content but each had its own culture (or did at one point, who knows now)
