I tried multiple times to win over H.P.-communities to join Lemmy, until now with no success. Usually they either dont reply, threaten to ban me (Reddit) or say they dont have the time.
The latter happened to me just recently. They heard about the Fediverse, think its cool, but are already overwhelmed with keeping the site up.
What do you think here? Are you having similar experiences? Are you even doing it? Whould it be a good idea to propose a minimal solution like RSS-integration rather than full AP-support?
Not a forum, but I was at a boardgame night with some old friends a few weeks ago and they were talking about Reddit, and I tried to pitch Lemmy. They were completely uninterested. They just didn’t see the issues with Reddit that ruined the experience for me, like rampant bots and overzealous moderation.
