It's no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it's still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What's more, I don't think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!

Right but we'll be more decentralized so any such attack won't affect the threadiverse as much. Right now every time .world goes down the entire fediverse feels half dead because it's so large.

But if this happens 7 times and there's now 7 major instances, each will only take up like 10% of the total and attacking it won't affect much.

In that sense, getting more decentralized is basically a natural evolution of the big instances being attacked. I'm just trying to speed it up.
