I think a good starting point would be advertising Lemmy where possible on your subreddit, such as pinning an equivalent futurology community from Lemmy linked to a reddit post and pinning that, also mention your lemmy community on other places like mentioning Lemmy and asking users to consider Lemmy instead on the welcome message when new users join/subscribe to r/futurology.

Kbin has this figured out, they now have an in-built community request system.

I see, I will try that thank you

That is terrible, so many of the communities I'd actually like to moderate and even move from Reddit (as I mod some of them on Reddit) to here is impossible as many of them are taken by inactive mods.

Ty for letting me know! Just edited it

EDIT: Oh, it's a bot 😅

Not all communities though. It's also weird the other comments on this thread from before is no longer appearing? Either a bug/issue from my end or the mods here removed the other comments...

@ruud@lemmy.world Please do take a look at this issue. Thank you.

You might be right, I am not sure, but Ask Kbin before actually used to federate well and often got people from lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, now I just cant seem to find AskKbin from here.

To mention, I dont think it's a bug although I might be wrong, the post here from the admins mention they have not really defederated it, but they have removed Kbin communities from Lemmy.world so only users from Kbin can see content here, one side only.

• kbin.social/m/cars
• kbin.social/m/AskKbin
• kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

The communities I mentioned are from Kbin.social actually.
