It's no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it's still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What's more, I don't think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!

Current redditors are a virus. They are nothing like the people who built the site a decade ago. We don't need them here

Lmao elitism like this will just turn Lemmy into a radioactive, insular circlejerk cesspool

If you want the reddit experience you can just stay there. It's still available and active. You sound like the kind of people that move across country because you want change then complain the new state isn't the same as your old home full of those problems that made you move.
