Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

Ultimately I agree with you. It's mostly going to come down to getting more people acquainted to this mindset.

Yeah I agree, and i think it will come naturally. When lemmy.ml starts to get slow due to thousands of users, then some of them will switch to a small instance and just subscribe to lemmy.ml communities from there.

Its pretty brilliant in its design, all of this.

It's taken me a week to figure all that out, but I think if someone explained it correctly in an infographic, that would make it much easier for people to understand.

Or a short like 5 minute video explaining the whole process that's easily digestible, post that shit to reddit and see how it goes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, that would definitely help. It needs to be visual/infographic style. Or that guy who writes with a marker on the whiteboard and draws the infographic as the narration happens.

MinutePhysics? I think they're a whole animation company that does work like that on comission, might be getting them confused with another group though.
