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.

Yup. I don't even mind creating an account there, if they mention the topic officially, to talk with them about this stuff. But going out of my way to tell them "pls join Lemmy"? I'd rather not!

You might create it now. New accounts can be shadow-banned at first, it's better if the account is a few days/weeks old before using links in comments

Urgh... and here I go, farming 1k karma in r/AskReddit. (I'll simply ask a chatbot to give me "one line witty and funny replies to [post title].)

How you will feel afterwards:

Nah :P I used this "one line witty and funny replies in r/AskLebbit" approach all the time, when I created troll accounts. All the change is just automatising the process of getting a few ideas.

Plus... honestly? If Reddit gets filled with bot-generated replies, that's good.

"if"

...

"IF"!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

...fine, fine! If the bot problem in Reddit becomes even worse than it already is! :D

I know, I know. The place is already a botfest. I'm pissing in an ocean of piss.

Our new overlords don't seem to mind - it's only us pesky humans that bother with such things!
