I made a comment elsewhere in this thread, but I would be interested in helping out with a recruitment effort! Maybe it's time to set up a Lemmy "get the word out" community?

I would be interested in helping with a coordinated effort to promote Lemmy instances on Reddit. Sometimes I check in on /r/RedditAlternatives and it's clear 90% of the people who would be happy with Lemmy have already left for Lemmy. But there are many threads where a simple "maybe check out Lemmy I like it a lot" could do a lot of help. It's not like users need to quit Reddit but every post on a Lemmy instance (even if it's also on Reddit) helps make our instances more appealing.

Perhaps setting up a community here to link to such threads could be a useful idea? And we could get talking points aligned as well.

Maybe they just expect users to accidentally type in the name of a Lemmy instance into the URL bar? Is that organic enough?

You know one Christmas I would like the family to just quietly enjoy a good Christian Star Trek meme without someone mentioning Doctor Who!

Absolutely

Ok sorry, where I'm from saying you are "truly tired" of something implies you think it's bad.

Actual Budget is software. It can be run on a home server if desired.

Canonically it's 47

"Smaller more personal stakes" doesn't mean something will be good, either!

Excuse me, were you talking to me?

That user was literally banned from StarTrek.website instance for harassment of it's users, this is a textbook example of the problem with "call out" communities you are advocating for. They are more about creating drama than any kind of fact finding, let alone justice.

Well said!
