    I must admit I’m quite surprised more subs that are closing shop these days aren’t at least attempting to move to Lemmy. It’s as if most of the mods are completely unaware of - or, for some unknown reason, are avoiding - the fediverse.

      I had no idea this place existed until about 2 weeks ago. It’s really not common. Non of my friends have any idea what lemmy is when I tell them I quit reddit

        Same here.

        In addition, I think it might turn people away just a bit to have to explain instances and that it isn’t quite as simple as sign up and get at it.

        Not that it’s all that complicated. But, it definitely isn’t as straight-forward as Reddit is.
