I haven’t seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

@spaduf@slrpnk.net , could you maybe edit your comment to something like
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
Feel free if you have any questions"
join-lemmy isn’t the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true
also what’s the best alternative for Mastodon? a lot of people there already tried Mastodon and didn’t like it due to UX/UI issues
I would be good to list Mastodon as well as an alternative, and also listing Mbin might be good too? but then maybe you’re putting too many choices lol
That’s my biggest beef. But I think maybe it’s “ugly like a Mazda truck”, as in, it’s plain and weird until you get to driving it and then it’s just simple and great.
That’s my hope anyway.
Honestly I think the answer is BlueSky. For all the problems that people have with it, it’s going to be much more successful in getting people off the Nazi platforms. What’s more X->BlueSky->Mastodon seems easier than X->Mastodon for most people.
Agreed
