Whats the best way to take action for me as a single user? What kind of posts should I focus on making? Ive heard of fetching reddit posts, maybe I could do that if theres like an easy process to do so, I’d happily feed some communities I like with posts from the silicon valley mafia platform to this platform!

Also whats the name of this platform? I registered under feddit org, is the umbrella term called fediverse? Accroding to wiki then this(fediverse) should be linked to platforms like pixelfed and mastadon too, is it? How do I see content from them or in what way are these platforms interlinked with this reddit styled one?

      If anything takes out Reddit, it will be Reddit itself

      People around here have better things to do

        I hope it ends up being flipped upside down for profit like the Meta platforms.

        It’s all small video posts although their essence was connecting with friends and exhibiting pictures/memory/photography. Now these use cases are actively changed into smartphone zombie habits through their UX.

        I hope reddit will follow the same fate and this platform here will be the new forums-for-everyone and all the useful questions will be found through fediverse when entering your hyper specific search engine request

        But currently I haven’t found my communities yet and most of which are kinda inactive. Some having only a monthly post, others even none at all

          Interestingly enough, I made a post in a community that hadn’t had any posts in months, yet it racked up dozens of comments in just a day or two. People are generally more reactive than proactive, which is why content creators reign.

          Obviously, you don’t have to be a full-on influencer, but people may be more receptive than you think if you just make some posts from time to time—especially if they’re open-ended questions.

      No one can speak for everyone else, but I personally would prefer reddit remains the main stream aggregator and lemmy can just rumble along.

      I’d love to see lemmy mature and evolve and be awesome but IMO it’s a mistake to think that attracting reddit users is the way to achieve that.
