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?

Assuming it is stable (there was some question about that due to its running beta software?), that sounds like a great idea!:-)

Nothing will ever be perfect ofc, and surely there are tons of alt accounts on Lemmy.World and elsewhere, but that seems like it would help ease people more gently into Lemmy, without having to endure as much culture shock as seeing e.g. the anti-Western posts constantly streaming out from the big 3.

Especially for a more "mainstream" audience - e.g. expecting things to "just work" - from Reddit and even more so people who merely search the internet.

And then if people really WANT to see literally everything, there's always lemm.ee that seems legit great for someone who knows that going in.

PieFed seems even more ideal in terms of this functionality but... its UI definitely needs more than a little polish before it's fully mainstream.

I don't know how you have time to do so much to help build this place, but I am enthused to see it nonetheless!:-)
