Please, help us to better understand how we can effectively funnel reddit users into Lemmy across all demographics, leveraging the average Lemmings advantages like expertise in automation, ai and bots?

What tactics/strategies do you propose? Can we automate the process? Can we somehow add ai to make it more fashionable?

    But before Reddit, I was a Goon. Before that, I ran some forums. Before that, I was on Usenet for ages.

    The platforms change, but the people and communities are pretty much the same as they were 30 years ago.

      That simply isn’t true. Reddit is much larger and more diverse than Usenet. I’m willing to bet the vast majority had never heard of Usenet when they started using Reddit, though they probably heard about it along with hundreds of other new and old ideas after joining. If you think everyone you want to talk to is already here, I’m happy for you, but I think it’s a limited philosophy.
