    Probably a lot more to do with people being pissed about reddit going public and selling their data to ai companies for profits.

      I’d like to think that too but I still go to Reddit and browsed a lot of those threads. In almost all of them, people were making the claim that there was nowhere to go, with maybe the occasional person chiming in to name-drop Lemmy, followed by a couple more comments from people bad-mouthing it.

      People are definitely mad at Reddit but there does seem to still be this overall sense that Lenny is not good enough yet

        Lemmy is more work to get on and then find an apk to use. There needs to just be a simple and clear instruction set to get people over. Like a link to an instance they can easily join and here’s a good app to use. Sort by /all and top from last 24 hours.

        Right now there are waaaay less users, so content is low compared to reddit, and you can’t just create your own sub at the drop of a hat.
