I’m not sure but it’s been working wonders for desktop Linux for the technically inclined.
Weeeeell, as someone who moved from windows to Mint a few weeks back, Steam and proton have had a big hand in that, so I wouldn’t say it’s a good example of “doing nothing”.
Edit: granted, Microsoft constantly shooting their own feet doesn’t help, but Steam broke the cage by providing what was missing.
Not to downplay what Valve and all of the countless Linux contributers are doing and have accomplished, but I wouldn’t be on Linux if Windows hasn’t gone to shit.
I was basically a 30 year long Windows fanboy. It got so bad that it drove me away. And now I’m a Linux fanboy.
Is it even a competition?
Afaik, lemmy doesn’t compete. It just exists, and makes no effort as an entity to expand.
I’m not even sure if there are individual instances that do anything to seek out users, much less try to take them from other places.
I kinda wish they did so Reddit diasppears
There is no “they” really - it’s up to us as users to promote it.
How do we as users make sure Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse grows?
Just promote it to users of traditional centralised corporate sites. Promote established but smaller instances and explain why it’s better 😊
How do you actually have people listen to you, there’s not really many people on reddit that I’ve found that you can tell them reddits crap and you should move to this instead.
I think you just need to promote it at the right time to the right audience, and suggest the right instances. People who are saying they’re sick of Reddit, especially when Reddit does something to shoot themselves in the foot. I think just trying to force it onto people will have the opposite effect.
@[email protected] puts a lot of effort into promoting Lemmy on Reddit, they’ll have some decent input on how to promote it!
There’s also [email protected] which is a community around this kind of thing if you’re interested.
