I haven’t seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

Some comments are suspiciously skeptical. If they were this skeptical before joining then they never would’ve joined Reddit lol. Someone just tried to tell me that the report button on Lemmy doesn’t do anything.

And people talking about bots too lol Reddit will literally repost a 1 year old post with identical title and copy-paste the top 100 comments from the original too, talk about bots! And they aren’t labeled as bots! At least bots here are labeled and you can hide them all instantly.
And then they ask for extreme details on how everything works and try to become a master at it before even signing up. Is that how they signed up for Reddit and Discord? I doubt it.
No way these people were that closed-minded and stubborn when they were signing up for Reddit.
People are scared of new things and grow complacent once they find their place in a community or on an app, in this case. It’s the same reason people will argue to death about needing Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, whatever, and not leave any of them
