So this Lemmy place is pretty awesome, and I see it growing by the hour! Just like others link external sites for content here, we should really also share Lemmy content to external (e.g. Reddit, Twitter, etc.) to show others where the users are going now.
Redditors will talk about Lemmy and moving communities here, but it is really best shown that the communities are rebuilding here. Thoughts? I’ve started with a few memes and am starting a new community here as well!
Yesterday I searched a question and for the first time google linked a Lemmy thread with the answer.
Asking and solving questions will bring users.
How does someone search Google?
Using a browser, navigate to the following URL: www.google.com
In the search bar, type the query you would like to make and hit ENTER
Then you’re done!
Thanks!
You forgot the step where you have to scrolls to at least 2 pages of ads disguised as results
Step 0: install an Adblock like UBlock Origin on your browser.
How do I install an adblock?
Don’t forget to add lemmy on the end and replace the url with your instance or have a browser extension that does it automatically for you
D: demonstrate interest in a topic by communicating it clearly around your phone.
E: engage with ads in the same vien as the question you’re looking for.
N: NEVER use an AdBlock. This throws off the algorithm as it can’t track how long you take before scrolling past an ad.
N: News. what news do you engage with? Contrary to expected behavior, google actually spends more resources trying to sway dissent from their opinion more than it rewards its supporters! Talk about breaking up monopolies, talk about tax havens, or even bing.
I: Invest wisely. Have money in the bank. They’ll know. The more money you have the bigger fish you are in the pond. The more they’ll target you.
S: Search. Go to google.com, they have a bar you can type in. Put in your question, hit search, and if you follow these steps, you’ll get what you were looking for.
This. The reason I originally joined Reddit was because it solved a problem I had (easily aggregating answers on various topics). That’s how we get people on Lemmy.
