I brought up the idea of protesting reddit and moving to Lemmy a couple of times on the INTP subreddit to tepid interest, but if we wanted to get a few more people over here, we could try and let people know we are over here carving out our niche.

Not sure if a post was made over yonder or not, and I would not want to unilaterally decide to do so, but it could be good to have a few more voices in here.

What says the sub?

    There are some votes on your post to gauge the lurkers, can see how that plays out. I’m not strictly opposed but I don’t think the subreddit seemed terribly concerned about the situation/moving. The mod there and a subset of users mostly communicate in the chat anyway, I think.

    Of course I would be happy if more people to join and participate, and definitely am open to suggestions to that end. But if people are against it for some logical reason I’m not going to override the userbase here either.

      Yeah, my hope is that most of the people over there didn’t come over. I like a small community that can kinda get to know one another and build something for us. My thought on the matter is that most people wouldn’t make the move, but some of the more adventurous ones (or the ones that have already jumped over and haven’t thought to check for a sub) will take a moment to check us out.

      In any event, I will give it another couple of days to gather consensus here and if there aren’t any voices of dissent, I’ll make a simple post over there just mentioning that we exist.

          My artistry lay in a different medium. But I do have a friend that is a graphic artist if you would like me to ask them for something.

    Those who care will look for alternatives on their own. For communities on lemmy.world it shoudn’t matter much. For communities on smaller platforms it would since there is a high risk that a duplicate will be created on a bigger one.
