Do you have any ideas on how to attract people from centralized platforms to such as lemmy? (lemmy.world)

niche community will work?

I'm interested in your ideas and strategies.

additionally not quite related to the topic.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to register on BlueSky, or rather, I managed to, but my account was blocked for suspicious activity a second after registration. Idk why.

Wait for the centralised thing to fuck something up (and they will), then say “hey I’ve been using this to get away from all the bullshit of [service name]”

ii suspect that most on lemmy have been moving from one platform to another since 1990's because of this sentence and it boggles my mind someone repeats it like it's never happened before.
