I’ve tried explaining Lemmy to people and they do not understand. They are like “just use reddit bro”
I stopped using Reddit when the API protests happened and haven’t gone back. I honestly think Lemmy is far superior. I love seeing and interacting with the same people in varying threads. Feels like an actual community.
Sadly, that’s the reaction I’ve gotten as well. Most people I know in real life just don’t care enough to even look into it, and the fediverse in general is an incomprehensible subject to them.
No one IRL knows I help run a Lemmy instance and I plan on keeping it that way for now as it’s going to take too much explaining.

“Reddit but run by non profits” is the simplest I find, even though that’s not completely accurate

“Like reddit but not owned by a single company” is how I’ve put it.
Now Reddit had straight up opened their doors for AI training, which ofc they get money for. Off the Reddit users content. Fuck you Spez.

I am halfway through. I deleted my old account and tried to use Lemmy, but formula1 is dead here and only on Reddit I find my dose of
heroinnewsYou stole my “joke” :P
I think it’s just a pretty common experience.
I am looking forward to casually dropping into the conversation that I run a social media network.
