MODERATORS
It's the Internet, people are going to criticize everything
I've mentioned Lemmy a few times and they seem totally blind to it. They just want a like for like platform to already be established and not willing to build anything up.
That's okay. Some people will be willing to give it a try, some won't. The main objective is that the second category at least hears about it.
Yeah, but I do find it kind of funny that people are searching for an alternative platform because of the enshitification of Reddit, but look for a centralised service that would fall for the exact same issue that Reddit has once it got popular.
That said I do think the concept of instances are confusing at first and add friction to get new users on board.
I usually point to lemm.ee, except if I know another one would be a specific better fit for the person I'm talking to, as feddit.uk might be in your case
You are welcome, everyone feel free to join there, always good to have support from time to time
Thank you for your service
The hero we don't deserve. Too good for lemmy.
Keep up the good work!
Checked it and... yeah pretty much
You guys are going to Reddit?
On missionary work. As long as you've had your vaccinations, don't forgot the pills for malaria and don't drink the water it is relatively safe for short periods.
Reddit is probably the largest potential new user pool for Lemmy, due to the similarities between the two platforms.
With 50k monthly active users, there are still a lot of communities which rely on one or two posters to keep active. For instance, TV shows are a very popular topic, we are still only one or two regular posters on [email protected].
We have lost a few regular posters in the last year as well, and some others might get tired to "should into the void".
With 500k monthly active users, we would get a dozen regular posters on most communities.
I dislike Reddit as much as the average Lemmy user, but if we want Lemmy to survive, we have to get more people from there to here.
One reason why I want more people on here is so that the third-apps can get enough support to establish the same level of polish as Apollo once had. Imagine how much further we can go with the potential of open source.
Isn't Voyager quite close that Apollo now?
I do like Voyager with its advanced search but I would say it needs more development to catch up on the same level of detail.
Yeah, only for a few subreddits though.

Most of the Reddit mods:
Fetch the BFG!
When someone cries “baah Lemmy is full of tankies” I hit them with the Sopuli recommendation.
Why sopuli in particular?
Sopuli’s culture seems anti-tankie and they’re hosted in Finland.
