So this Lemmy place is pretty awesome, and I see it growing by the hour! Just like others link external sites for content here, we should really also share Lemmy content to external (e.g. Reddit, Twitter, etc.) to show others where the users are going now.

Redditors will talk about Lemmy and moving communities here, but it is really best shown that the communities are rebuilding here. Thoughts? I’ve started with a few memes and am starting a new community here as well!

    I kind of agree, but it needs to be done in a nice way like if you have already written an answer on lemmy to a question which also shows up on reddit then post a link to it instead of copy and pasting it there.

      This is the way. I think of it as offering breadcrumbs to those on other platforms. Since the posts are freely viewable without signing up, it’s no different than a news or web link.

      You can also turn this around. If you are still monitoring reddit, consider making a post in the appropriate sub answering the question (assuming it’s a generic-ish request) and then link back to it in the community here.
