It's no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it's still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What's more, I don't think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!

I don't even want more redditors to show up here anymore.

We've already got enough people doing and saying the same dumb shit they did there.

If we aren't careful, the top comment chain on every post will be puns we've all seen too many times

Exactly..

reddit was once semi useful ... Before it devolved

Agreed. The platforms are both very similar structurally but the zeitgeist is different.

Fostering our own organic direction of thought is a lot better than trying to bring yet another shitposter.
