    What makes this non organic? I learned about reddit on digg and Lemmy on Reddit. Seemed organic to me.

      Maybe they just expect users to accidentally type in the name of a Lemmy instance into the URL bar? Is that organic enough?

      Because OP is suggesting we brigade that subreddit and actively encourage people to use Lemmy. I believe eventually the users more like the OG redditors will come naturally on their own. Like with content from Lemmy shared on Reddit or other social media. Wait for the content and audience to bring them over than to self-advertise too much too early.

        Reportedly Reddit has >500 million accounts, 73.1 million daily active users (DAUs) globally, and estimates for monthly unique visitors around 1.2 billion - the latter must be like non-account holders then? (I dunno how many are bots)

        I seriously doubt that our tiny place even could “brigade” them if we tried in earnest (using humans rather than bots I mean).

        Even so, I agree it’s best to be friendly and therefore sensitive to the subject to not let that happen.

        Well that seems like an idea tailor made to make this site never expand. Content follows users. If it weren’t for people saying come use Lemmy I wouldn’t be here. Nor would 99% of people. Same with reddit.
