So this Lemmy place is pretty awesome, and I see it growing by the hour! Just like others link external sites for content here, we should really also share Lemmy content to external (e.g. Reddit, Twitter, etc.) to show others where the users are going now.

Redditors will talk about Lemmy and moving communities here, but it is really best shown that the communities are rebuilding here. Thoughts? I’ve started with a few memes and am starting a new community here as well!

    Yesterday I searched a question and for the first time google linked a Lemmy thread with the answer.

    Asking and solving questions will bring users.

        D: demonstrate interest in a topic by communicating it clearly around your phone.

        E: engage with ads in the same vien as the question you’re looking for.

        N: NEVER use an AdBlock. This throws off the algorithm as it can’t track how long you take before scrolling past an ad.

        N: News. what news do you engage with? Contrary to expected behavior, google actually spends more resources trying to sway dissent from their opinion more than it rewards its supporters! Talk about breaking up monopolies, talk about tax havens, or even bing.

        I: Invest wisely. Have money in the bank. They’ll know. The more money you have the bigger fish you are in the pond. The more they’ll target you.

        S: Search. Go to google.com, they have a bar you can type in. Put in your question, hit search, and if you follow these steps, you’ll get what you were looking for.

    I’m happy with the amount of users and activity Lemmy currently has. It doesn’t really need go grow though any means other than organically imo.

      Eh, it’s still missing a ton of smaller and even medium sized communities. Pick video games and TV shows for example. A bunch don’t have a community or only have a dead one with zero or one posts.

        It’s debatable whether a lot of these smaller communities really provided much value outside the tiny userbase they have.

        Besides, if someone wants to pick up the mantle on Lenny they are more than welcome to as well.

      I’m using Memmy, whose UI is inspired by Apollo. It’s not perfect, but functional and looks great! You can use it through TestFlight

      Lemmy already has a few apps for Android like Jerboa,Connect for Lemmy,and Liftoff. IOS has mlem and probably a few more. They’re not yet as good as reddit TPAs but they’re there and being actively developed.

      I think it’s kbin that needs an app rn as it’s growing rapidly and the only app i know for it (Artemis) is still in alpha.
