I think it's more about the scale. 80% or more of the content gets created on Reddit or alike, probably.

And to which instance(s) would you redirect the user in easy mode?

People have to find stuff here first.

I have thought about creating a bot to crosspost content from reddit here but I suppose they will quickly block access. RSS could work to a degree, but it doesn't include the full content and media.

If you or somebody else has ideas, I'm listening.

I think, though, I stuck a Leminal Space link in my bio or upvoted a Luigi and got banned. So, not sure if you can directly link to Leminal over there or not.

I have a link to my instance in the bio and regularly post about it and haven't had problems with exposure until now.

I'm not that kind of professional 😂

That's why we have to make sure the Fediverse is the future!

Looks like Lemmy has great indexabiliy: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aeurope.pub

europe.pub is only about two weeks old and hundreds of pages have already been indexed. Currently setting up the Google Search Console to get more details.

That's by design for sure.

Maybe instead of asking which instance, we could do some sort of categorization and ask in which topics someone is interested and the instance chosen based on that?

I think many people quickly get lost on the term instance and what it means.

That's cool! Was it hard to set it up?

But I cannot share this here, unfortunately.

but I don’t understand why it’s not happening.

Because there is not much money to make in the process. I think we need to lobby politicians to step in.

The Name needs changed, you see who shows up when you search Lemmy. The easiest thing to do is switch it to “Lemme” (Sounds like “Let Me”, like just lemme post this) or Lemy.

Good ideas for new names, however, I think this is seen very controversial in the community.

Lemmy needs an app that is just as easy as Reddit to sign up for. It needs to drop on the person’s computer desktop and sign them into a default federation that auto accepts everyone. The initial signup process is confusing to people, with the website listing different federation and having to apply and wait. Some auto accept, people need to be pointed to those.

Some sort of rotation system would be cool that distributes the users across multiple instances. That way no single instance gets too big.

Cool. And are you still using Reddit or are you using Lemmy exclusively?

the fediverse is not that aggressively publicized

For sure.

doesn’t know where to go and what’s the difference between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc.

They also know the difference between Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. Why shouldn't they get it here?

Haven't found a website translation service from them, unfortunately.

That looks good!

Sow how are we getting people to join the Fediverse?

Me too! What do you think we can do to get more people to join the Fediverse?

Lemmy is decentralized. So very different.

xcancel.com to the rescue! Simply replace x.com with xcancel.com and see everything and don't give them a single piece of data.
