Brainstorming: how should we name a Lemmy community dedicated to the promotion of the Fediverse?
-
I mean, of the hundreds of communities I've blocked so far, I feel like a solid half of them were furry porn, so honestly that tracks.
-
FYI: there is already a Fediverse Marketing Community as part of https://fediforum.org/projects/. How about joining forces with the people who are already there instead of duplicating effort?
-
Yes but both in one community makes sense since people who advocate will care about the news and people who care about the news care enough to maybe advocate.
-
Honest question: what is the goal here? As a user, I don’t care much about the fediverse as a concept. As a Reddit refugee, I love Lemmy and that is worth promoting as far as I am concerned. I was never into twitter, and mastodon doesn’t appeal to me. But if people want to promote it, go for it. As a techie, the fediverse is an interesting concept, but not one you’re going to get the general public interested in.

I wasn't aware, thanks!

Those communities already have followers right?

Always a good idea. I'll reach out to them.

Have to agree with Blaze here.
Even though growthefediverse and fedigrow have similar names, they are about quite different things.
Ie. maintaining a lemmy community, vs getting the word out about lemmy.

Official spread of the FOSS movement!

F-uni-verse!

Half of the general public endorses fascism.
Who gives a fuck what the general public is interested in, how do you reach the people who would be interested?
-
Would be interested in what? Some may be interested in a Pixelfed app, others may be interested in a mastodon app. Those groups don’t necessarily overlap much, and while some may be interested in the fediverse or activity pub, most people just want to know what it can do for them.

Ideal world would be lemmy posts popping up in mastadon so ppl could reply there and I could see it as comments here, I want more users to interact with but not the mastadon/twitter interface
-
Pixelfed could overlap, a lot of posts on art type communities tend to be images with a caption, if you posted there and had it show up in like blender with the comments and likes syncing thatd be nice

Thank you!
