Please, help us to better understand how we can effectively funnel reddit users into Lemmy across all demographics, leveraging the average Lemmings advantages like expertise in automation, ai and bots?

What tactics/strategies do you propose? Can we automate the process? Can we somehow add ai to make it more fashionable?

Users don't care if Lemmy or the Fediverse is more "free" or which technical features are superior to what Reddit offers.

Most users want a place to find content and basically doomscroll. You want users that will submit new content, not just lurkers. So in order to attract people here, the best way to do so is to submit new content.

I would focus on getting top posters from Reddit to move over or at least cross post.

Doing that requires them seeing someone else getting attention that they are not. Anyway you slice it, the answer is more posts being made here.

Users that don't care about freedom will never care about Lemmy. It's the only plus it has. It's why it exists.
