There was a post on r/Europe the other day for swapping away from US products, and that is how I found out about this place. I'm now Reddit free

"Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, you can visit https://phtn.app/ to have a look at the content, and install an app using https://vger.app/settings/install.
For a more detailed explanation: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1j0xkqa/lemmy_as_an_alternative_to_reddit_using/ "
Thank you.
A detailed explanation on the r/BuyCanadian sub could be impactful given they have ~300k subs.
@[email protected] , how do the mods over there react to this kind of posts?
They seem pretty friendly to the Lemmy idea as I saw one post reach the front page of the subreddit without being taken down.
What is the "Best" instance for Canadians to join on Lemmy?
https://lemmy.ca/ , very well managed
I'm not Canadian, but I'm on lemmy.ca and like it very much.
I never see anything but good vibes coming from lemmy.ca. It's like the positive stereotype of Canada embodied in a Fediverse server. Two thumbs up.
Also, I don't get why [email protected] refuses to consolidate with [email protected] given the metrics

People finding the less active community first think it's the community they are looking for, while most of the activity happens in the other one
Have you tried messaging the mods of either subreddit for the possibility of a merger?
imo the problem isn't fragmentation, but the fact that most of the [email protected] people probably aren't even aware of [email protected].
I have, they reaction is
Hey, this discussion obsolete. Both communities are here to stay. Please carry on.

They also banned me for "siphoning users" https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog/1309153
I understand the former reaction, but the ban seems PTB.
To be honest, they have been posting links to that other community under pretty much every post. It did get a bit annoying in my opinion (as a normal user) too.
Very well written guide. We possibly could repost this in other subreddits with similar issues.
