I tried multiple times to win over H.P.-communities to join Lemmy, until now with no success. Usually they either dont reply, threaten to ban me (Reddit) or say they dont have the time.

The latter happened to me just recently. They heard about the Fediverse, think its cool, but are already overwhelmed with keeping the site up.

What do you think here? Are you having similar experiences? Are you even doing it? Whould it be a good idea to propose a minimal solution like RSS-integration rather than full AP-support?

    The association with hexbear has tainted Lemmy enough that it’s a hard sell. I have to convince them it’s not all an edgy echo chamber of pretend leftists

      Hard to do that when all I see is that tbh

      Fediverse is mostly unwelcoming–on the UX side but mostly the people themselves

        It really depends on the communities. And when the comparison is Reddit, Lemmy on average is less agressive
