What would moving your account here from Reddit entail? What would transfer with you? Your posts? Comments? Followed and moderated subreddits? Upvotes and downvotes?
Nothing more than linking ones account so you don’t have to go through the “approval process” simply only allow one account per email.
The approval process is instance-specific; if you think that’s what’s keeping people away from Lemmy, just recommend they join a smaller instance that doesn’t require approval.
Why would I want my reddit account here? Yeah it kinda sucks to lose 14 years of history, but I couldn’t even tell you how much karma I have, f.ex. What I would bring over from reddit is the people and the many active niche communities.
Not importing the history just making it quicker and simpler you keep your name and email and its instant as long as no email duplication
ha, no, it wont. people wont just come here because it exists. believe me, we have tried.
Get a post on reddits ALL saying a site with the same UI as old reddit but better moderation and Run in Europe and people will swell if its easy to switch. Especally now because reddit just said you can get banned for what you upvote LOL
