What‘s keeping us from promoting Lemmy on Reddit? (feddit.de)

Serious question, as I‘ve barely seen any mention of Lemmy on Reddit. None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware. Would it be against the TOS to start a coordinated promotion?

We should make a community on Lemmy about promoting Lemmy on reddit. We could do something like an AMA with people talking about Lemmy. I don't see how they could stop us. If they ban us it's just more threads about how we got banned for talking.

Probably something like RedditMigration (to mirror kbinMigration and lemmyMigration on Reddit) serving as a landing page, with consolidated info in a pinned post and encouragement to create a shitty post in there, just so they break the ice would be cool.

There is afaik: r/lemmymigration

Looks like that subreddit is being run by people who are obsessed with kbin and don't actually support lemmy. But there are plenty of upvoted comments in support of lemmy. We should try to take that over to provide a better tutorial for redditors who are thinking about moving.

I think that's cause r/kbinmigration got banned and they got moved to r/lemmymigration, the support is more so supporting both while sympathizing how kbin's subreddit got banned which i think could be why there isn't that many posts of supporting lemmy
