  Because everyone who wants to use lemmy isn’t posting about it on reddit.

  I post on my country sub every week in the self promotion thread.

  We also published a news in a well known national open source website.

  I agree with you, people have to advocate about it, it’s not magical.

    It’s also important to note that 0.19 has been a long time coming. I think part of the reticence to engage in full on Lemmy evangelism is that people recognize that the platform still needs work. Once everything starts working more smoothly and moderation tools get some upgrades, it’ll become a lot easier to recommend Lemmy to the average person.

    I would like to start doing this as well. Feel free to post a template of what you usually say to lure people in. I think more people here would be willing to go on a little misonary run 😉

  I agree. No one knows Lemmy.

  Still, as long as there is enough activity on it, I’m happy.

  I commented on an admin post today saying “Lemmy is thriving” and the comment never appeared 🤣

  Which means that the fact that so many users have stayed is even more impressive.
