I think @lemmy @lemmyworld might not get the support Mastodon got because Twitter is more seriously used by some people and needed an urgent alternative whereas Reddit is still primarily used for entertainment

lemmy has a higher search hit for "Ian Fraser Kilmister" as it is a common name. Mastodon and Reddit are UNIQUE names. If you ask Google Assistant or Siri "What is lemmy?" you will get that result. Mastodoon has a better / more unique name.

I also just don't personally like how it sounds, sounds too much like lemming or let me when I hear it out loud.
