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!

I think lemmy will have an eternal September moment eventually when the platform improves. Mastodons will likely be soon. It's not a good thing nor is it a bad thing. There will be both benefits to it and negatives as well.

I put a Kbin and Lemmy community in the sidebar of /r/vexillology shortly after the beginning of the API protest.

I don't even want more redditors to show up here anymore.

We've already got enough people doing and saying the same dumb shit they did there.

If we aren't careful, the top comment chain on every post will be puns we've all seen too many times
