So this Lemmy place is pretty awesome, and I see it growing by the hour! Just like others link external sites for content here, we should really also share Lemmy content to external (e.g. Reddit, Twitter, etc.) to show others where the users are going now.
Redditors will talk about Lemmy and moving communities here, but it is really best shown that the communities are rebuilding here. Thoughts? I’ve started with a few memes and am starting a new community here as well!
I wouldn’t do it too aggressively. Targeting cool individuals for invitation is one thing, but aggressive blanket advertising would probably cause certain headaches that we’re not yet ready for.
As the userbase grows, the rate of growth is going to increase as well, because you just can’t stop people from talking about things. This would be a delicate time to massively accelerate that in any kind of coordinated way, imo.
Definitely produce content and communities though. That really only has benefits.
