    no. It’s difficult to recommend it, “no it’s good trust me, there’s like none of the subs you like, and also you should go to the settings and block this list of words, also block these instances, and also do you know what a Tankie is?”

      If I talk with people about Lemmy, I’ll usually replace “lemmy” with “this social media I use, kinda like Mastodon, but for Reddit instead of Twitter” as to avoid them joining lemmy.ml and thinking that that’s the entirety of Lemmy.

      I’m fairly new to lemmy and have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you give a little breakdown?

    No. Should I ever mention enshittification or reducing exposure to “big tech” then usually tinfoil hat jokes at my expense ensue

    My husband recently rediscovered Lenny again and a friend joined. They both find it hard to stay since it’s pretty quiet and don’t have many active niches.

    No, I don’t think I know anyone else that interacts with the fediverse. there are probably a handful that I know that are even aware of it.

    I joined Lemmy when the API changes happened and tried to get a couple nerdy friends to join but they didn’t bite

    Yes I have been a Lemmy advocate since I joined, but I have only ever gotten one person to use Lemmy. I told one of my daughters friends mom about Lemmy. She does not allow her daughter to use social media. Except for Lemmy.

    So that is it. My one conversion. I have kind of given up on trying to convert people. I still love Lemmy and the Fediverse, but the year of Lemmy mainstream has yet to come.
