Why would you want to increase the number of redditors here?

I feel the very specific community topic split is already affecting Lemmy negatively. So I think having larger, broader community topics (e.g. 'commuting' instead of a community for every single option to commute by itself), with more diverse content, interaction and of course more visible activity, would also attract new users.

Right now some communities are so specific, that by its creation, it's a filter bubble by design. And then of course you don't get a lot of content or interaction, as only yea-sayer get accepted.

Interaction requires different approaches, opinions, options and of course people who upvote them even when disagreeing. The reply box is the correct option when disagreeing, not the downvote. That's how Lemmy will sprout.

tl;dr Broader community topics for larger, more diverse and more active communities

I think the lemmy community is great as it is!

Relay for Reddit charged me a subscription so I found this place just this week. It's like old Reddit.

A baseball bat should do it, I'd think.

Message the mods of your favourite subreddit(s) and ask them if they want to create the same over on Lemmy or should you? :-)

Users who care about privacy and not being exploited and targeted with shitty ads are already here.

The majority are Ben Dovers and don't mind getting fucked.

I've been on Lemmy for 3 months and it's frustrating.

Watermarks!! Just add that cute Lemmy watermark to all Lemmy posts! That will make people come over here for sure!!!
