Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it’s rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?
If you link to Lemmy on Reddit, the admins sometimes delete the comment.
Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link
I checked earlier today and, at a cursory doomscroll, everything appears to remain deleted so far
You would think, of all the communities that would be comfortable with migration, it would be the folks from /r/selfhosted!
Fellow user from there, btw, nice to see we’ve got a decent pool of people on this board instead.
If you look at the charts you linked, you can see the users activity (post per day and comments per day) is falling sharply since last month. Subscribers count mean nothing if a big proportion of the active posters leave.
Post per day seams steady at about 30/40, comment per day seams to have dropped from 3/400 to 250/300, I would have expected a great fall.
If you compare post per days from before the strike, it definitely falls. It’s no longer an upward trajectory despite subscribers growth.
Makes sense, the people who have both the tech knowledge and conviction on the advantages of selfhosting, were probably the most active posters.
100% how spez started out initially and made it appear that reddit had a lot of activity. So this definitely smells like spez-tricks
Why would you care about getting banned from Reddit?
Stop obsessing about Reddit and create a content on Lemmy instead. People will come once they see there’s enough activity here.
It’s not an obsession! Simply if all the good poster/commenter that are there would come here, this place would be better!
