Nutomic, one of the main devs has stated that he has one problem lemmy can’t solve with just development, it needs more users to fill in all the empty communities. he asked us if we could help.

I always had a clear idea of what needs to be done in order to evangelize these platforms. In the case of lemmy however, it is a unique one. It’s not user focused at all, It’s purely on the community and topics. Logically then, If you want to evangelize lemmy your wouldn’t want to go to twitter. You would go to places like 4chan, Reddit, Quora, or forums. as these places are community focused. Normally what I’d do is crosspost things from mastodon to twitter, simply advertise the account on my bio, but on community focused platforms that’s not effective.

The focus is on the community, not the bio. therefore:

The best way to do this is advertise lemmy on the community page itself. Every FOSS/Fediverse subreddits should point to a lemmy community.

Example:


Special thanks to @ianrextor@lemmy.ml and @libre_warrior@lemmy.ml for participating in this community in such an early stage, It motivated me alot to do this.
