What‘s keeping us from promoting Lemmy on Reddit? (feddit.de)

Serious question, as I‘ve barely seen any mention of Lemmy on Reddit. None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware. Would it be against the TOS to start a coordinated promotion?

I found out about lemmy from r/EDC where they mentioned in their B.O. post they would be at https://sopuli.xyz/c/edc

here's the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/comments/145fxdb/reddit_is_killing_itself/

Hey :)

Welcome to lemmy. I'm the asshole mod that made the post lol.

Hey there :)

But why "asshole"? Almost every sub posted a similar thing and I see nothing wrong with that post unless I'm missing something 😝

Also curious, did you run into my comment by chance or did you actually get pinged when I mentioned the EDC community?

Just happened across it lol

You know how reddit is though. Any moderation is going to draw ire from someone. Since I decided to be as transparent as possible about how I moderate and why I make the decisions I make, more people saw the moderation, so there were more "someones" to get annoyed lol.

A couple of the automod posts had some folks get nasty, though I removed those once the initial two day no activity protest was over. I could have just bailed and let reddit replace me eventually, but I'm not able to do that, ethically. I made a commitment, so I'll make sure to find at least one mod to replace me next month before I stop moderating entirely.

I'll still hang in to lend advice to the new guys and make sure they aren't just going to trash the sub, but then I'm out entirely
