So you don’t want to share your community with me?
I still find reddit enjoyable. I use both reddit and PieFed. PieFed lacks niche communities, for that I go to reddit.
Also reddit’s UX is still a lot smoother, I hope PieFed gets there but I’m not going to kid myself and say it’s as good as Reddit just yet.

I really hate the elitism / gatekeeping I so often see on here.
People scoffing at those still using other platforms, thinking they’re better than them etc.

I’m not gatekeeping, I’m just suggesting maybe not to actively recruit them. I think the good ones will make their way here without a bunch of begging and pleading and convincing. And maybe the rest just aren’t really worth having.

It’s a big ole boys club over here and it’s clear where they want to draw lines.
Reddit is much easier to use and has such a larger user base that one can tailor their experience to align much closer to their own interests. There’s not quite enough people on piefed and Lemmy to have that same experience.

How is Reddit easier to use?
PieFed is extremely easy to use. Its searching sucks, but so too does Reddit’s (Lemmy sets an extraordinarily high bar there: Lemmy’s searching is supremely excellent).
Reddit is definitely larger and has more niche communities - I’m not pushing back on that, just questioning why Reddit is easier to use than PieFed.
Or did you mean that Reddit is much easier to use than Lemmy? That I would agree with - Lemmy is extremely lacking, e.g. user polls, user & post flairs, multi-communities, notifications for things, e.g. if you get banned then Lemmy will never tell you but PieFed will, and the list just goes on and on and on and on… but that’s just Lemmy, not all of the Threadiverse.

It’s easier to use than Lemmy. Lemmy was the first I heard about in this whole set up and the first I tried out. Not too hard to pick up on, but I understand why the average Redditor may feel it’s more difficult to get in to.
I need to poke around Piefed more apparently.
