I tried multiple times to win over H.P.-communities to join Lemmy, until now with no success. Usually they either dont reply, threaten to ban me (Reddit) or say they dont have the time.

The latter happened to me just recently. They heard about the Fediverse, think its cool, but are already overwhelmed with keeping the site up.

What do you think here? Are you having similar experiences? Are you even doing it? Whould it be a good idea to propose a minimal solution like RSS-integration rather than full AP-support?

In the past, I would comment about Lemmy whenever there were posts about reddit messing up, and would get a mostly favorable response. I also got positive responses from privacy focused communities, who tend to be more willing try alternatives since they already are willing to switch or compromise on apps for increased privacy.
