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?

Not too successful so far.

I think a strategy worth trying might be to grow the r/redditalternatives and r/lemmy subreddits, and direct users to those, rather than to Lemmy directly.

If we can get Redditors talking about Lemmy, that would help spread awareness.
