Were you guys able to get people to move to Lemmy?

I'm ready to step away from Reddit. I know you can encounter toxic behavior on other platforms too, but I'm just exhausted by the level of negativity there. So, I have two questions for those who have fully transitioned β€” What prompted your decision to leave? And were you able to get others to join you on Lemmy?

  • The API debacle got me to leave, I had become fond of Infinity for reddit, and saw there was a fork for Lemmy called eternity.

    I implored a sub I nodded to join me, likely a handful did.

    I like it here much better, I can never go back now.

    • There are communities I enjoy on Reddit so fully committing to Lemmy is a bit hard for me right now. It sucks. 😭

      • That's how I feel too. I'm mostly committed to Lemmy, to the point where I even deleted my Reddit account, but I also still lurk in a few, like /r/SWTOR, /r/JPEGXL, /r/trans, and /r/ChangeMyView.

        There are communities for the latter three, but the JPEG-XL one is just a mirror community, the Trans one is not quite as active (still decent AFAICT), and the top CMV one I can find has a little over 100 subscribers so pretty dead.

        • I’m only familiar with the Change My View sub!

          • Yeah, JPEGXL is a pretty awesome (tho still very new) image format and I like to keep compatibility advances for it in mind, /r/trans is, well, a community for trans people, and /r/swtor is for the community surrounding the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO.

      • Don't worry, I think a lot of people are like that!

        View content on other sites, post there when you need to, whatever works for you. I try to only post here, unless there is an urgent reason for me to post there.
