“We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation”

Every Reddit ad is a Lemmy ad if you think about it.

I became aware of reddit over a decade ago because my friends told me about it.

Lemmy will grow the same way if people find it to be a place worth sharing.

Lemmy will grow if it becomes simple for a normal user to sign up, and if people stop trying to use long-winded and technical explanations for how to join Lemmy and what it is

omg this, so many people who are trying to help make it easier to understand for the layman is doing way more harm than good. The average user doesn't give a shit about this and telling them all the buzzwords and talking about how federation works is completely irrelevant to them.
