Start telling people now, over on reddit. BEFORE they start cracking down. That way, everyone will know, and the growth will happen even more rapidly.

I’m not “gatekeeping”. Lemmy can and will grow fine on it’s own. That will be great. Campaigning to increases the user base by 500x “instantly” will just cause problems. I get people want more content, but wanting this platform to be the new Reddit overnight is simply unrealistic and frankly dangerous for the site. The platform maintained by volunteers, not a corporation, and it is regularly facing problems that it already struggles to deal with effectively. A Reddit sized userbase would just destroy Lemmy.
We’re already larger than Reddit was pre Digg/Slashdot migration. I personally believe we won’t ever have another major migration like Rexxit, but that’s mostly because the MSM will absolutely super babby hate the idea that they can’t control the flow of information, again, so they will refuse to even refer to the fediverse as anything other than Reddit, Meta, or X.
