We're going to need to participate on normie platforms like reddit in order to get more users & content here. We're also going to want to have a place on reddit (and elsewhere) where some of our content can thrive and become more accessible.

Apparently, Facebook is already marking our URL as spam. I'd imagine reddit will follow if not already. So we can't just dump links onto every marginally left-wing space.

Let this be a thread to spitball some ideas.

    Posting quality content and useful resources. It'll be great to have a radicalization sub that I can send to normies that isn't full of inside jokes and crab emoji. But also just effort post about normal things. Cats, jobs you hate, fixing iphone screens, etc

    It's just gonna take time as we build them out

        Yeah, always feels weird to explain basic shit here, or to assume that people don't agree with basic assumptions.

        I guess we just start posting the shit, maybe with a tag or something, and see if it takes off.

        Change you wanna be, etc etc

          Once Lemmy gets the stickying option to work, maybe @ScreamoBMO and the mods can sticky a "welcome new users" post.

          r/CapitalismVsSocialism is definitely filled with ancaps and libs, but I'm sure there's a significant base there that would consider coming here too.
