Dear Lemmings, how can we funnel reddit users to lemmy?
(lemmy.world)
Please, help us to better understand how we can effectively funnel reddit users into Lemmy across all demographics, leveraging the average Lemmings advantages like expertise in automation, ai and bots?
What tactics/strategies do you propose? Can we automate the process? Can we somehow add ai to make it more fashionable?
Create content and participate to make Lemmy more attractive.
Best I can do is talk about Linux.
Which distro?
Installing tumbleweed rn
Great distro by the way.
I wish 😭
It refuses to install... I got a dell vostro 3468 running on legacy BIOS. I'm coming from windows and there's an NTFS partition full of data I'm trying to preserve...
The guided partitioning errors out(usually runs out of space, and no packages can continue installing so they throw errors), and using the expert partitioning throws a couple of grub errors at the end when it's installing grub
It was really good when I last tried it on another device
You can start out with something light, and then install packages as you go.
I generally do a barebones install and then install individual packages. By default a lot of packages are installed - most of them you don't need.
And also checkout
. It is a lighter version of Opensuse and has the calmares installer. (Tumbleweed is the Gecko rolling version)
The MBR layout was the issue
When I wiped the drive, everything fixed itself!
Loving tumbleweed so far
The archetypical answer should be obvious
by the way
All my homies use Hannah Montana Linux
Real OGs peer beyond the *nix veil and graduate to TempleOS
Baby's first OS. The actual OGs graduate back to SLS.
NixOS, BTW
Slackware, forever Slackware.
In German.
Je peux peut-être aider en suggérant une deuxième choix ?
Un petite peu.
So more OpenSuSE, gotcha.
That's that Windows program the nerds use, yeah? Do you like it?
What's a program? Is that a kind of app?
What's a computer?
The thing you use to access the facebooks.
That works for me
Then do that. There are many Linux communities on Lemmy, participate in them and try to make them a better place by contributing useful comments and posts.
He's making a joke, because if you look at /all communities it can be like half posts from various Linux communities at times
This is the way
I never have anything interesting to say
I think you just disproved your own point my friend, that was fascinating.
you think what all these idiots are saying is interesting?
just yap its more enjoyable that way
In my case I found that creating a community that was missing here, then regularly populating it with content, has worked wonders. That it was not just a good way to get myself engaged here, as well as to grow the Fediverse, but to attract users from Reddit and other places given a bit of cross-posting.
Seriously, I'm not sure how many people understand that right now, given that new content is generated relatively slowly across the FV, that any new community putting quality stuff out there is going to get a *hugely* larger proportion of eyes on it. That's compared to similar communities on Reddit, FB, etc, in which smaller / newer communities tend to get completely drowned out in the ALL streams.
My own niche community (Euro graphic novels) already has 350+ subscribers in less than 90 days. Even for Reddit that's a nice jump-start and growth. Which is why I urge people to jump on this opportunity now, because eventually it's probably going to dry up.
Indeed, maybe it would be good to get this message out to people on Reddit, FB, etc who always wanted to start a sub/community, but the opportunities were 'all filled up' already.
