This instance will need a little more traction to be useful. I’m thinking it may be useful to collaborate on a welcome message to post on Reddit. I was thinking that the r/Colorado subreddit would be a good test as it is a much smaller community than r/Denver.
Part of my thinking is that we should advertise not as a replacement for Reddit, but an addition, and an insurance policy of sorts. Basically not to oversell it, but also not to attract everyone, just those who are curious. If we can get that up, and some of us here can add comments and some updoots, it should give some much needed visibility and that logical Colorado landing spot for those who just don’t know what to do.
It just so happens I have a reasonably respectable Reddit account I’m willing to burn to the ground to find out. I will be workshopping a message this week.
I think /r/Denver might be more open to it, I know @SpezCanLigmaBalls got permission to post there about the Denver community on lemmy.world.
