Do you have ideas to get more people to move over from Reddit to Lemmy?

I run a forum where the first post was started 23 years ago.

That's cool!

People still keep using this trash!

Why? I mean if it can be destroyed on a whimp again should be reason enough to not use it again.

How would this help against defederation?

This is so true! I always hated the Slack/Discord format and will always do. It's just a mess.

That sounds like an awesome idea! I'm sure that many forum owners don't even know that they can federate.

I thought about only crossposting uprising content and only a few a day. Simply crossposting everything would be definitely a bad idea.

How about crossposting forum post links on Lemmy? This would help to get them exposure.

I'm using DuckDuckGo and Qwant and get way better results than on Google now. I don't know what's going on there at Google but I hope they make it even shittier so they loose more users.
