Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it’s rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

    Stop obsessing about Reddit and create a content on Lemmy instead. People will come once they see there’s enough activity here.

        I’d prefer if we stopped bringing up Reddit altogether. We no longer use the platform, we should be happy with what we have here instead of constantly peeping into the neighbor’s garden.

        Yah but that seems to be what lemmy is turning out to be and I don’t see it being sustainable.

      It’s not an obsession! Simply if all the good poster/commenter that are there would come here, this place would be better!

        Be the change you want to see.

        You thought they were the leaders. They’re the followers, staying near the crowd.

        Building communities is hard and takes time.
