Anyone well known who wants to speak out about what’s been happening on reddit? Louis Rossmann? Apollo dev? John Oliver (one can dream)… or maybe former Reddit mods who were kicked out?
Anyone who has a story and who understands they’d have a massive impact by giving an exclusive AMA on a Lemmy or Kbin instance.
This could be announced a few days in advance to make sure all remote instances follow the AMA community.
Word of mouth marketing is the best strategy right now. Look how lemmy user base spiked in recent days. More people will look for alternatives after 3rd party apps stops working on July 1st. In the meantime, spread the word on reddit.
Awesome, thank you for taking the time to respond and being open to the idea! I’ve really appreciated the tools you’ve made allowing these communities to form and I hope you are keeping your sanity with all the reddit migration explosions!
Layout is still being tweaked and you want the UI to be as easy to manage as possible for people doing the AMA (new reddit is likely a factor in more recent AMAs not being as good)
It’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation regarding amount of people. More people will bring in more AMAs because it is largely a publicity thing. A low userbase means people may not want to do an AMA, or choose to do an AMA on a larger platform. But having AMAs brings people in. It’s hard to get the ball rolling.
I think it would be best to hold off until the Lemmy developers push out an update which solves the issue of having separate communities for the same topic on multiple instances. For example, multi-community feeds or merging instances.
Is this now widely acknowledged as a problem? I don’t see a problem with that kind of fragmentation tbh. Especially since there was fragmentation of that kind in reddit too Maybe Lemmy/kbin just need a reliable way to search across instances.
I’d prefer IamA’s, instead of AMA’s. Stuff like I am a Ukrainian freedom fighter, I am lawyer that represented a serial killer, I am terminally ill. I wanna know what the people are doing, not what the celebs are doing.
Personally I’m not very interesting, but I know some of yous are. Let’s all chat!
