Hello everyone,

@spaduf@slrpnk.net created !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net to synchronize efforts to promote the Fediverse on existing social media (e.g. that Reddit thread on /r/Technology which got a few people joining Lemmy)

Spaduf wasn't aware of the existence of !fedigrow@lemm.ee , which is an existing community focused on the internal growt on the Fediverse, mostly between mods and regular posters trying to make Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed communitied grow.

To avoid confusion between the two communities, we are thinking about a potential new community, with a different name.

Potential options we came up with:

What do you all think? Do you have any other ideas for the name of that new community?

One strategy that I'd like to specifically promote is fediverse users calling attention to spaces of the internet where people are talking about the fediverse but there's relatively few users there that can share their experience.

To that end I've been considering things like:

  • Fedimigration Reinforcements
  • Fedimigration Support Team

Keep in mind that whatever name we pick will also be the hashtag that the Mastodon contingent of this project will end up using. As it stands, they would see posts from this community under #growthefediverse
