Were you guys able to get people to move to Lemmy?
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?
I had been looking for an alternative to Reddit for a while, but heard about Lemmy during the API Exodus of ‘23.
were you able to get others to join you on Lemmy?
I did not try. I know no one on Reddit personally except one of my customers. I have told him in person about Lemmy, but I do not think he would join. I co-modded a sub and the other mod supposedly went to beehaw. But again not someone I knew personally.
API exodus-ers unite!
Lemmings from a sinking ship 💪
For me it was/is exactly the same. I've not been using reddit a lot anyway but once I heard about Lemmy I was very quick to move around the API disaster. I also don't know anyone from reddit so I didn't have a desire to convince anyone.
I spread the news around in my other networks and I think 2 people joined lemmy, but they would have joined without me advocating for it anyway probably.
I knew of Lemmy before the API exodus, but I didn’t really have a reason to move as I didn’t really use the custom apps. Just with the nastiness of some Redditors, Reddit’s been losing it’s appeal to me, but I’m clinging onto the app for some friends I have there. Hmm.
