I should have been more specific, I was just referring to the storm surge flooded areas.
Is the UK contemplating tariffs on Chinese EVs?, if not that will be one of the few advantages of Brexit, as the EU has just agreed to mandate them.
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.

Yes, its hard to understand. On the other hand our results on cloudflare look way too good to be true. They say the fediverse site had 180K unique visitors in its first month and almost 3 million of what it calls "total requests".
It's hard to figure out what this means in terms of how many people on the fediverse are seeing the content, both from our site, and where its coming up in federated instances.

It's hard to know exactly how many people see them from the stats Reddit gives Mods. Reddit gives a figure within the post for views, which stands at about 160,000 for the post I mentioned. That includes the times people have been served the title in their feed & and the times people clicked on it (sadly Reddit doesn't differentiate further).
The fediverse site has been going for 6 weeks and has about 620 subscribers. My guestimate from looking at addresses in comments is that maybe 100-150 are reddit migrants. So roughly speaking 1 in 1000 r/futurology people who saw something about our fediverse site were motivated to join.
A sobering thought for people who think the fediverse is about to crush reddit.
Since they are US banks, they would just move the financing to the US
No, they are in Ireland because the EU requires some of their operations to physically be located in the EU, to have access to the EU single market.
What exactly was the issue with your verification system?
Numerous issues the site dev couldn't fully understand after hours of investigating. We've switched off email verification until the Lemmy devs fix this in an update. Additionally 2FA is often broken too & awaiting a fix.
keep an eye out for opportunities.
I'm hoping opportunities will happen organically, e.g. users will be cross-posting & cross-linking.
incoming reddit users could be a huge benefit (familiarity) And maybe add those options (a. & old.) on the side panel with a link for tutorials how to use Lemmy and its apps
Yes, I've been thinking about how to make it as simple as possible to understand for reddit users. Where we explained it here, is an attempt to reduce things to the simplest language - https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/15pbknv/do_you_have_some_time_to_take_a_look_at/
Thanks, hadn't thought of that, we'll look at it.
Thanks. It seems email verification is what is causing most of the problems.
Asteroid ejecta from Mars has reached Earth so many times, we can assume the opposite has happened too. So if Mars was warm and wet, it seems likely it was seeded with life from Earth. This suggests another question, did life on Earth arrive from elsewhere via this method?
