I kinda wish they did so Reddit diasppears
There is no "they" really - it's up to us as users to promote it.
How do we as users make sure Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse grows?
Just promote it to users of traditional centralised corporate sites. Promote established but smaller instances and explain why it's better 😊
How do you actually have people listen to you, there's not really many people on reddit that I've found that you can tell them reddits crap and you should move to this instead.
I think you just need to promote it at the right time to the right audience, and suggest the right instances. People who are saying they're sick of Reddit, especially when Reddit does something to shoot themselves in the foot. I think just trying to force it onto people will have the opposite effect.
@[email protected] puts a lot of effort into promoting Lemmy on Reddit, they'll have some decent input on how to promote it!
There's also [email protected] which is a community around this kind of thing if you're interested.

With "they", I meant the owners/mantainers, specifically. Without some promotion from their part, there aren't so much users to promote it further.
No, if there's too hard of a push to get users then lemmy earns itself a bigger gun behind the crosshairs that are already aimed it (by platforms like Reddit).
If we have any hope of growing Lemmy into what it can eventually be, we need the growth to be gradual. As painstaking and aggravating as that might be.
