On reddit, you can’t post basically anything anymore. Go to computerscience, programming, gaming/games… You can’t post ANYTHING. No matter what you post, removed… It sucks. It’s like 1% of people get to post, everyone else is muted…

But lemmy is better. Here, things are fair, there aren’t over-moderation and too many rules. How do we get people here? No one wants to join lemmy.

    Imo:

    • Create more active communities NOT centered around politics or Linux. I swear there’s more things to talk about
    • Stop berating people who use consumer electronics like Android or iPhones
    • Get the word out, basically no one knows about Lemmy

      Hey! We also have memes!

      But yeah, I what I do is subscribe to every non-politics and non-tech community I can find and read through those first, then when I run out I just read “all”.

      By and large the posters/commenters for those other communities just haven’t wanted to move over.

        It’s just that you need “pioneers”, people who resonate with what’s already here but also want to add to whatever new communities. I don’t think we’ll have a migration of users only for those topics if we first don’t have a few that can already keep things alive as they are.

      Maybe get a good modern meme community going. Somewhere where mods remove junk posts like screenshots.
