I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

No Reddit account, you aren’t using their shitty app; IDK, seems like a win to me.

Reddit “traffic” doesn’t really mean or do anything for them(mainly at this scale).

but it could be effort towards lemmy, instead of going to reddit to see some content you can actively create content or comment on lemmy so that hopefully the content you liked on reddit will start to grow on lemmy, it takes effort but its the only way for it to work

I’ve been doing this but even getting one community going takes work. I can’t launch them all, and I’m still contributing about half of the content to my community.

Lemmy is just too small for some topics to take off until we get another big wave of growth. In the mean time I think visiting a few niche subs is not going to kill anyone, and we can keep working to grow Lemmy at the same time. These approaches aren’t mutually exclusive.
