I don’t think that’s fair. People can come here if they want. They can hate Reddit if they want. Let’s not demonize communities that decided to reopen is best for their community. It doesn’t need to be some judgement “Fuck everyone who didn’t come to here”.
I’m brand new here. I created logins at 3 instances. It’s not clear that you only need to log into one instance. Then communities are only discoverable if someone already linked to it on your instance. If I’m understood it right. All that to say-that’s a lot more friction to Signup and be scrolling entertaining content compared to Reddit. I’m trying to move mostly here, but there are some support communities on Reddit only. Finding new communities is definitely more complex than Reddit.
I’m here here for it, but let’s recognize there is a learning curve that will turn people off with limited time and mental bandwidth to pickup a new thing for fun.
First post on Lemmy. I hope that Lemmy and Mastodon can replace Reddit and Twitter. It feels hard to imagine right now, because finding communities and signing up is really confusing. I already gave up on Mastodon because it was too much of a hassle.
Any recommendations for root beer or birch beer? I’m on the US East Coast. Thanks!
