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?
It would be nice if there was less focus on “not being Reddit”, and more focus on “being better than Reddit”.
What makes Reddit a good site is that it actually has a lot of “good posters”, no one is going to switch from Reddit to Lemmy just to read a lot of shitposter posting about Reddit and Threads all day long.
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.
