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 — What prompted your decision to leave? And were you able to get others to join you on Lemmy?

What prompted your decision to leave?
The API thing last year was my last straw. Finally killing off the last of the "we totally love our users" bit and changing it to a very profit-focused platform was the indication it was time. It wasn't until after I left did I realize what a toll it was taking on my mental health.

Tried, but it didn't stick. Learned that people will move over naturally. I talk about it if people ask me why I'm not on Reddit, but I never push or actively encourage. I learned that only makes people less likely to try it. Don't know why, probably some psychological reasoning, but if I show I'm too excited about something they'll actively avoid it.

I have this feeling too. I think that is because I'm not cool, people don't want to do the things that the not cool guy is doing.
People who think like this suck honestly.
Realized I replied to the same comment. 🤣
Wow! So it is true, I often hear that people don’t like pushers.
