It’s no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it’s still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What’s more, I don’t think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!
You find it unusable? How so?

For me, it needs features from RES, Toolbox, highlight new comments, etc.
Unless I’m mistaken, highlighting new comments was a reddit gold feature, not RES.
Yep, that’s why I listed it separately. I used a script for highlighting comments on reddit: https://archive.fo/kgsfz
Perhaps it would be simple enough to modify it to work on lemmy.
EDIT: Saidit has it built-in.
You cannot block an instance, there are no multireddits, Sync is still in beta, the main instance is down half of the time, searching for contents is difficult, the discovery of new content is drowned among duplicates of existing communities.
I’m a heavy Lemmy poster, but all of these points should be addressed for Lemmy to become mainstream
