You are welcome, everyone feel free to join there, always good to have support from time to time
- Thank you for your service
- The hero we don't deserve. Too good for lemmy.
- Keep up the good work!

You guys are going to Reddit?
- On missionary work. As long as you've had your vaccinations, don't forgot the pills for malaria and don't drink the water it is relatively safe for short periods.
  
  Hmmm, missionary.
- Reddit is probably the largest potential new user pool for Lemmy, due to the similarities between the two platforms.
  With 50k monthly active users, there are still a lot of communities which rely on one or two posters to keep active. For instance, TV shows are a very popular topic, we are still only one or two regular posters on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee.
  We have lost a few regular posters in the last year as well, and some others might get tired to "should into the void".
  With 500k monthly active users, we would get a dozen regular posters on most communities.
  I dislike Reddit as much as the average Lemmy user, but if we want Lemmy to survive, we have to get more people from there to here.
  
  One reason why I want more people on here is so that the third-apps can get enough support to establish the same level of polish as Apollo once had. Imagine how much further we can go with the potential of open source.
- Yeah, only for a few subreddits though.

Checked it and... yeah pretty much

- Most of the Reddit mods:

Fetch the BFG!
- When someone cries “baah Lemmy is full of tankies” I hit them with the Sopuli recommendation.
  
  Why sopuli in particular?

There’s a lot of naysayers on there
- It's the Internet, people are going to criticize everything

I've mentioned Lemmy a few times and they seem totally blind to it. They just want a like for like platform to already be established and not willing to build anything up.
- That's okay. Some people will be willing to give it a try, some won't. The main objective is that the second category at least hears about it.
  
  Yeah, but I do find it kind of funny that people are searching for an alternative platform because of the enshitification of Reddit, but look for a centralised service that would fall for the exact same issue that Reddit has once it got popular.
  That said I do think the concept of instances are confusing at first and add friction to get new users on board.
