I’m sure we’ve all seen db0’s post on fediverse about the success of linking c/piracy to r/piracy; and due to the ongoing reddit exodus, there is an opportunity:

What if we talk to the reddit mods of equivalent communities, and ask them to link to the lemmy version? It seems it could be a great success. I’ve even made a post for these new users: https://lemm.ee/post/54814946 and the mods, to explain in as short time as i can how to get completely set for the threadiverse.

    Yep, a win is still a win. And who knows? we might get a couple of valuable users from it.

      That’s an important thing to point out: Simply having many users isn’t bad, of course, but for small communities to grow, you mostly need a few power users to push open the doors and lay the groundwork for more passive users to follow.

        Yep, no matter how many commenters, subscribers, upvoters you have you will ultimately be the only one posting for a long time, to keep the community alive (till it manages to sustain itself)
