My question is how amenable will reddit mods be to creating posts between the blackout and API change effect that explicitly promote lemmy, kbin, or whatever alternatives to their communities. I imagine it will totally depend on the mods.
The best non-aggressive way is to post quality content here, then post a link to the lemmy page in a subreddit. Content is king they say, and where it’s hosted owns the content.
Or to put it another way: post the content here and post links to here on other social media. Stop treating Reddit as a first-class citizen, it’s just another channel where posting links will pull people here. Eventually folk will switch to the discussions here instead of commenting there. Play the long game.

That’s a really good point. It’s what got me to stop using StumbleUpon and stick around on reddit in the first place some 15 years ago.
