  I don’t think enough folks even know what Lemmy is.

  I have a product I’m trying to build and will be launching shortly to allow folks easy access to their own lemmy servers and I plan on running some ad campaigns.

    The problem is people are selling Lemmy the wrong way, lol. The average user doesn’t give a fuck about decentralization or federation. If you want to convince people that Lemmy is a good Reddit alternative, you have to show them the content/discussions and the UI/UX.

    UI/UX is getting better, but still far away. The mobile apps are okay. Content is still behind, mostly because most lemmings aren’t helping their communities in generating content and engagement. The moderators can only do so much in curating. You got to help them out by posting content as well or at least commenting on the threads. Don’t just lurk.

      Yeah you’re right. I’ll think about that.

      There might be some solutions for this.

    If they still don’t know what lemmy is, they aren’t the type of educated we need to be pushing towards lemmy.

    There’s a group of us working on a join-lemmy banner, it’s a struggle tho since it’s such a small group.

    Our Matrix chat is here for any who want to join in on the effort: matrix.to/#/!hiNoQZCxnHSsATzzmo:data.haus?via=dat…

  Half the problem is, that’s where people are.

  The network effect exists because adoption is a feature you can’t design.

  if you don’t want the drama, you can always block the reddit communities from your account, be a pioneer for the new culture of Lemmy, ping me if you found something cool. we are constantly getting new people who aren’t over our “shared Ex” yet. be patient with them.

    Worth noting, this was posted to a technology community, not a reddit community, so you can’t escape it entirely.

      !technology@lemmy.world is a place for news and drama, it can be blacklisted too

    Sounded more like they were talking about the users that are still on Reddit, not the ones that came here but talk about Reddit.

  Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that they’re revolting but someone needs to evangelise to them before they just content themselves with Reddit
