Sure, but the average reddit-user doesn’t frequent /r/RedditAlternatives unless they’re looking for one.
That’s probably the mod team rather than the site as a whole. /r/RedditAlternatives has regular discussions about Lemmy and the Fediverse, so at least that sub is ok

The average reddit user isn’t indeed looking for an alternative, so they’re unlikely to welcome any suggestion anyway
Trust me, I’ve tried several times

Tbh I’m not sure the average Reddit user is who we want to attract here anyway. Not to be elitist, but there might be a benefit to at least some barrier to entry. From a bot/spam/troll perspective as well.

Depends. I specifically targeted the users saying things like “omg, Reddit is dead. RIP. Where shall we go now?” And “If there were an alternative I’d switch in a heartbeat” or “that’s it, I’m leaving. This was my last straw”. Basically users that genuinely sounded to me like they were looking for something. Not that they ever got to see my response.

I have it linked in the subs I mod there. I welcome Reddit relieving me of duty. :)

They definitely lose by missing you!
