Anyone that’s stuck with reddit this long probably thinks this sort of thing is a good idea.
Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who have still never heard of Lemmy on Reddit. I mentioned it in a post about this and got flooded with people asking me what Lemmy is and how to sign up.
I got banned yesterday and did not know what Lemmy was until I did a search for Reddit alternatives.
Welcome new guy. Hope you like beans!
This is true. I do a bit of shepherding myself, and many have never heard of Lemmy. Don’t give up on them!
anyone who engages in the news and political, and adjacent subs, are addicted, they wont leave.
Perhaps. I found those types of things the easiest to replace. Plenty of people on Lemmy talking about news / politics. You guys don’t have enough niche hobbies though. I do often miss my underwater basket weaving sub and having a reliable stream of cake fart porn.
They’ll get banned eventually for upvoting something on a gaming sub that mentions Luigi’s mansion. Then they’ll be confused for a while and move to the next app
