Hi all, since I imagine a lot of you are here for the same reasons I am (a dislike of Reddit, prefer open source) how about some thoughts on how we can pull more users over to Lemmy and this linux_gaming community?

I've been advertising it where I can but I can only do so much myself in between running GOL directly. There's also an announcement bar on GOL that mentions Lemmy on rotation (it's random on refreshes) at the top :) and I Tweet/Mastodon post about it at times too.

What can we do? Any interesting ideas?

We didn't manage to break 1K by the end of May, so let's go for the end of June for 1K subs to linux_gaming!

Post often and make sure the posts are useful or interesting. Make this place desirable and people will come

That's a nice way to think but not the reality with a site such as this, especially when some places (like Facebook) ban sharing Lemmy links.

Facebook does that? That is new to me, but they are the biggest scum tech company on earth so not surprising they fear a 10k userbase website.
