I think I might try that approach, you’re right it could motivate a subset of people. We have a pinned post spot at the top of the sub-reddit I’m going to use again in a few days. When I used it before, I’d guess a few thousand people read the post, but it seemed to generate very few people moving to the Lemmy site.

Slightly off-topic, but how are you finding encouraging Reddit users to make the switch to Lemmy?
I mod r/futurology, which is close to 20 million subscribers, but most of the growth for futurology.today has come from within the fediverse. Any tips for encouraging Redditors to migrate?
Great info. Out of curiosity what does your hosting setup say about visitor numbers? Futurology.today uses Cloudflare. They give a figure of about 10k per day for what they call unique visitors. That seems unduly high when you look at how busy our lemmy instance actually is. We have just short of 1K subscribers, so I would assume visitor numbers would be lower than 10k per day.
When might it integrate Lemmy?
