What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

Haha I don't even usually try. I'll answer honestly if people ask what site I'm on but I know its a bridge too far for most people.

To a lot of people Reddit is super nerdy, Lemmy is several levels above of nerdy in relation.

I don't think I've ever met anyone outside of Lemmy where I feel their lives would be better if they used it. The only time I feel a want to yell about Lemmy is when people who are on Masterdon or the like blindly promote something on Reddit.
