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!

Reddit's decline is greatly exaggerated.

It's also advantageous to keep low agency and low quality users on reddit.

Lemmy has already started to decline in quality since average redditors started migrating here.

Honestly, my problem with Lemmy is that there's mostly hardliners here, hardly any average opinions.

might be that most of us are just lurking ๐Ÿ‘€

Vote ratios are never balanced.
