I'm sure we've all seen db0's post on fediverse about the success of linking c/piracy to r/piracy; and due to the ongoing reddit exodus, there is an opportunity:

What if we talk to the reddit mods of equivalent communities, and ask them to link to the lemmy version? It seems it could be a great success. I've even made a post for these new users: https://lemm.ee/post/54814946 and the mods, to explain in as short time as i can how to get completely set for the threadiverse.

..and for some subs, the mods just outright banned posts, comments or the users posting, for even mentioning the words 'lemmy', 'fediverse', and so on. (happened to me)

I'd suggest DMing users on reddit individually whenever you see someone asking about options for other communities and social media, directing them to lemmy, but that'll take a lot more effort. AFAIK reddit isn't (yet) going so far as to monitor direct messages between users to censor mention of the fediverse.
