Reddit is removing content from the sub again. How do we make this place more popular?
Keep in mind I’m a mod on the subreddit too, so I can sticky stuff there/change automod rules. But I’m not sure what to sticky/change.
I think you should focus on explaining that lemmygrad (or hexbear) as a whole is where they can be safe like on r/thedeprogram, except they won’t get their accounts banned by admins. I think you should probably explain the application process to make it less intimidating (i.e. you don’t need to give some super complicated answer, one sentence for each question will suffice and the admins are unlikely to reject you unless you outright say “I hate communism” or are a patsoc)
Make a persuasion post in general for why lemmy can be a superior reddit alternative (different sorting algorithms, lack of corporate control and data harvesting, responsive devs who are comrades! Etc.) Point out that you are likely to get high engagement on posts here even with the small comms because the atmosphere is so much friendlier. Are all the other mods from r/thedeprogram here on lemmygrad? I would suggest getting them on board here if you can
Could be annoying, but maybe have the automod respond to any post containing the word “reddit”?
ETA: also, should have mentioned lemmygrad on the rule crackdown post. Another thing, is to let people know that there are actually apps you can use now, and let them know what their names are
Pointing out that what happened to Chapo and Genzedong will eventually happen to The Deprogram subreddit as well. It’s just the natural course. Might as well get a head start on it. Also we can speak our minds here. You can’t talk about how awesome it would be to kill all the landlords and capitalists on reddit but here…

We tried to make that point in the crackdown post currently stickied to the subreddit. Will try to boost this message a bit more.

Have tried asking them to join up a couple times, will try again

It would probably have to be more precise than that but I like the general idea

We did, it’s just buried in the post
Thanks for these suggestions
on https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/comments/14yojsp/important_rule_1_2_crackdown/ ? I’m not seeing any advertisement of lemmygrad on it am I crazy?
Oh, never mind, I must have been thinking of a previous post
yeah there was a pinned post with lemmygrad I had commented on before, was a little surprised that it wasn’t mentioned in this one
Post links to Lemmygrad on the Deprogram Discord.
Good idea!
Ama with Hakim and or Yugopnik
Another thing, sorry for double commenting, is that you should work with lemmygrad admins to coordinate pushes here. Like if y’all make a post to push people to lemmygrad, try and see if admins will pin a post directly speaking to r/thedeprogram subscribers, something like that
I’ll reach out to them, thanks
Post about this (sublemmy?) in the subreddit. I also got permission from Foy to copy over the Deprogram wiki pages they wrote into Lemmygrad.
The Deprogram has a wiki?
