So I wrote a blog post on how I feel we can encourage more people to fedi, and it starts with DON'T TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE FEDIVERSE, because I'm very clever, or something. Would be happy to get your thoughts on that!

Hello,

Thank you for sharing this.

I agree with you that thematic instances are better than generalist one, but what do you do when someone on /r/RedditAlternatives asks you about an alternative to Reddit?

We agreed on a one-line comment a while ago, happy to hear your thougths: https://slrpnk.net/post/18168206

Honestly? It is not a problem I have, and I'm really happy about that :P But yes, I think it's very handy to have a quick reply like that, but as you probably already suspect, I avoid general meta topics like that, simply because I don't really have much interest in Reddit itself :)

I'm not the biggest Reddit fan, but the Reddit userbase is probably the place where we can find the most of people who could be interested in Lemmy. Text-based forums aren't that popular nowadays, and Reddit is by fart the largest.

About a specific approach, there was also this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/BoycottUnitedStates/comments/1jrcrh6/lemmy_as_an_nonus_alternative_to_red_dit_using/

Had both a one-liner and a bunch of countries instances.
