Also, please no “tHiS iS eNgAgEmEnT fOr rEdDiT” comments. Would you rather have no such banner? As I’m not pushing anyone to become a long-term active user on Reddit, I don’t see any benefit for the company from this. If you have a spare account, this may be a good cause to fire it up for a few hours.
But it doesn’t matter what you put on the canvas - the point is that you are driving up engagement and that’s exactly what Reddit wants
I learned about Lemmy by finding a Reddit alternatives post on Reddit. People need to find out somehow. This can also get covered by blogs and other social media network posts. I think the net effect will cause more people to find out about Lemmy and leave Reddit, so it’s a temporary one off engagement that leads to much more disengagement from users who leave after finding an equivalent alternative.
Especially considering the note is in the literal middle of place and has been there for most of the timelapse so far. People undervalue that position HEAVILY.
I agree. I never would have heard of Lemmy if it wasn’t for posts about it on Reddit.
Same here, found out about Lemmy on Reddit, but some time ago in discussion about where to go if Reddit bans a sub. Didn’t actually start using Lemmy until shit hit the fan.
Yes. I am going around my town telling everyone to go to Reddit and do that. I am SO driving up engagement. Because compared to the bots replacing the Marocco school and the flags every 5 seconds are a minority compared to my block that I placed to advertise another website. Yes.
