What if we all go through our subbed reddits and make them here?
That’s exactly what I did with a fairly niche community, and so far we’ve got 400+ subscribers in only four months. Pretty good for Lemmy, I think.
TBF, I think part of why it took off so well is because Lemmy’s ALL stream is relatively slow enough such that small niche communities have a much higher chance of being randomly seen. Compare that to Reddit, where they’d typically be buried.
So there’s a prime opportunity right now to start a community on Lemmy and have it take off relatively easily. That might not be so true in future.
Let’s see your best examples, OP. Walk the walk, please.
Me, as an article-writer and content creator I try to low-key share links to such on Reddit, but also try not to go overboard.
Knowing one’s community is also key, as some will welcome fairly overt links, while others will become greatly offended at even subtle Lemmy content.
