Please, help us to better understand how we can effectively funnel reddit users into Lemmy across all demographics, leveraging the average Lemmings advantages like expertise in automation, ai and bots?
What tactics/strategies do you propose? Can we automate the process? Can we somehow add ai to make it more fashionable?
We could improve Lemmy's features because this is an important factor in the next of content creation. For example: better sync, account migration, more intuitive UX, etc.
If you remember a ton of people left because for these reasons: Confusing sign-up (having to choose an instance), worse UX, having to use third-party sites to explore communities which aren't local, suffering from defederation (my main gripe with Lemmy)
I agree wholeheartedly with what you (and others) have said. I wish there was a way to have one account but be able to use it on all instances. It would also be great that even though instances are decentralized, the content still was consolidated. So basically people from various instances visiting sort of fused/amalgamated communities.
@BigBlackCockroach we can already sort of do that? You're from lemmy.world, you're talking to @PrivateNoob from sopuli.xyz, and I'm reading both of you from kbin.social which also lets me follow people on mastodons.
You can use an account on all instances but I think the lack of consolidation is the single biggest problem with Lemmy/KBin tbh (the lack of ActivityPub in some of the other Reddit alternatives also doesn't help).
Obviously there's a smaller userbase here, which is fine and expected but can make some communities feel a little empty. Having basically the same community in multiple places across multiple Lemmy and KBin instances makes that issue a lot worse though - ideally communities covering the exact same topic should be automatically consolidated in the way you describe. And ideally on an opt-out basis for the user - so you see the amalgamated page by default and can see the individual ones if wanted.
