Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Make 1 to 1 copies of existing subreddits and maybe some kind of automation tool to take the subreddits someone is currently part of and subscribe the Lemmy versions of them automatically. That plus for now some people could repost content from these subreddits to Lemmy, so the feed isn't so empty and also I don't know how Google crawlers work exactly but searching for Reddit posts through Google is a big benefit of Reddit for me, if Lemmy could also show up in Google results or if Lemmy builds it's own internal search to a level that's equal to or better than Google that would also help

automation tool

I'm currently plan something like this. But I don't think just posting everything would be a good idea. I thought about a few uprising posts a day at most per community.

Google

Lemmy already gets indexed by search engines.

I've started Europe Pub about 10 days ago and Google has already indexed hundreds of pages: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aeurope.pub

I think mapping existing subreddits to Fediverse equivalents is a great idea and would be very helpful to have as a resource. Sub.Rehab did something to that nature, although I don't think it's being maintained anymore sadly.
