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 would be hesitant to do that just because you don’t want reddit to remain the “place where you find everything”. Promote the community, and link when someone is looking for something specific, but don’t x-post and give people a reason to stay on reddit. Also bear in mind that reddit is now shadowbanning lemmy links, so mentioning the community (c/community) is preferable.

    A really effective thing, I’ve found, is to ask the mods to promote individual communities, especially on restricted subs where mods are sympathetic to the protests.
