How would we convince people to join Lemmy? (feddit.nl)

Genuine question, since the subreddit r/BuyFromEU is becoming larger and larger, actual migration feels due. Of course, we should use both platforms but right now using Reddit is more valuable and hence this platform is relatively small...

Any ideas?

I had the same thoughts the other day when I registered.

I’m decently tech savvy - run a Linux server at home with virtual machines and docker containers, self-host a website that’s written and updated through the terminal/command line. So not a genius but more inclined than many but I was at a pause when I opened up the site.

The pause was what does an instance mean, is it important later on and all sorts which I needed to figure out before trying to read the instances. Those are two massive barriers back to back when in reality none of it matters.

This post on Reddit is what made me sign up for Lemmy. It’s really needed, otherwise I wouldn’t have understood how to do it.

Great job on this post!

Thanks for sharing that and for all your work in it, I think it’s very well explained and put together.
