Hello,
I’ve been thinking of this for a long time, but have there been any serious attempts on getting the subreddits of your ethnic group / country on switching to lemmy?
Feels pretty lonely on lemmy, since there are only 6 (including me, and afaik) arabs/1 other person from my country. And i’m guessing it can feel barren for some in the same way.
Would it be a good idea to go on subreddits like r/denmark, r/estonia, r/arabs, r/kurdistan (for kurds), etc and promote lemmy? What do you think would be the response? What communities would we do? Is it a good idea?
I’ve been trying to get the mods from /r/France to have a single pinned post pointing people looking for a French speaking alternative to Jlai.lu, similar to what the Germans did: https://old.reddit.com/r/ich_iel/comments/14d65o7/öffentliche_dienstmeldung_änderung_der/ since the 2023 API fiasco.
I got temporarily banned for “self promotion”.
To this day, they will still remove comments mentioning Jlailu or Lemmy, see !quitterreddit@jlai.lu
Reddit mods pretended to want a better alternative during the 2023 strikes, but most of them just seem to prefer keeping people there
Heh, that’s how reddit is, i guess. I sent a couple of messages to mods on my old account before, it got permanently deleted ;^)
