It's no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it's still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What's more, I don't think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!

They open Sync, they they see they can't post, they leave again.

I know post is coming in the next hours, but it's the same for multireddits, instance blocking, account migration, etc.

Assuming the prerequisite of joining Lemmy doesn't skew this, people who post would be a small minitority. Might be similar for the other features you mentioned.
