@asklemmy@lemmy.world Would you like a Reddit Bridge?
We already have a Twitter Bridge for Mastodon and an Instagram Bridge is being worked on by the same .makeup team / person.
Would you like to see Reddit Bridged / Mirrored so you could see the posts you’ve been ‘missing’ off here?
I don’t know, it’s not something I actively think about, I like how Lemmy is atm, I like being able to have a civil discussion or be able to post something without angry people being angry, I know some live here, but they’re way more tolerable than over there.
Just let it grow organically.
A bridge isn’t exactly advertising tho, advertising would be telling Reddit users about Lemmy, linking posts from Lemmy to Reddit, or talking about Lemmy there in general, a bridge is just gonna make Lemmy worse in my opinion. Like I said, we came here because we didn’t like Reddit.
Word of mouth is by far the best way to advertise Lemmy.
Word of mouth is great if people genuinely talk about it, like I do my best to talk about these sorts of software but it has just turned to ‘Here we go again’ more than ‘Yeah I want to join’. Any new people I talk to about it just seem not interested.
In the wild I’ve never really met anyone that is trying to advertise anything like this, so we might need a little more than just word of mouth.
