The Buy-European movement is bringing people to Lemmy
Subs like r/BuyFromEU have exploded in Reddit, with 140k users and many more eyes on it, the movement has even made news in many countries.
This is a great place to make people aware of the existence of Lemmy.
On popular posts of people switching away from a US product, I like to comment variants of
While you're at it
Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative, Lemmy
It also has a Mobile-App
I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
Lemmy already has a growing c/buyEuropean community.
r/BoycottUnitedStates is also and option and so is r/BuyCanadian with 285k users, this is a big audience that wants to move away from US products like Reddit.
Spread the awareness of Lemmy.

Thank you.
A detailed explanation on the r/BuyCanadian sub could be impactful given they have ~300k subs.

People finding the less active community first think it's the community they are looking for, while most of the activity happens in the other one

Have you tried messaging the mods of either subreddit for the possibility of a merger?
imo the problem isn't fragmentation, but the fact that most of the !buyfromeu@feddit.org people probably aren't even aware of !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.

I have, they reaction is

There was a post on r/Europe the other day for swapping away from US products, and that is how I found out about this place. I'm now Reddit free

Very well written guide. We possibly could repost this in other subreddits with similar issues.
