How would we convince people to join Lemmy? (feddit.nl)

Genuine question, since the subreddit r/BuyFromEU is becoming larger and larger, actual migration feels due. Of course, we should use both platforms but right now using Reddit is more valuable and hence this platform is relatively small...

Any ideas?

I'm not sure about convince but:

  • Help people out on Reddit who need a hand signing up - there are quite a few of us on there directing people to the fire exits.
  • Make Lemmy awesome - pitch in on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca and/or if you see a need for a community then start it, you can always get help at !fedigrow@lemm.ee.

then start it,

Small nuance:post on !fedigrow@lemm.ee first, usually there is an existing community that can be used

This is a really good idea. The place to help people sign up is not on Lemmy, but where the users are.

Hopefully in the future the sign up process (and the orientation experience that follows) will improve drastically on Lemmy. But I don’t see it happening soon.
