I don’t know how I didn’t think of this be for, but the Lemmy bean posting could be a psyop that reddit is trying to get people to return to them after switching to Lemmy

    Yeah, that’s exemplary and very inspirational, but we’re on completely different pages. I never complained, nor I’m expecting any change or have content being fed to me.

    The reality is that the demographic of this site (a tiny niche of Reddit, which on itself is already a niche) + the terrible time search engines are having, and will have to index the Fediverse, just makes communities for non tech-savvy / internet culture people, virtually impossible to grow.

    Like, good luck forming a Fediverse community about Paella, Bubble Tea, Mezcal, or your neighbourhood, in which John and Jane Doe who barely ever use the internet, join. Communities of a ton of topics are already incredibly small in first-place search result sites such as Twitter or Reddit, and are going to be impossible to have on the Fediverse, until the day you can ask the corner shop grandma about the Fediverse magazines she’s subscribed to, and you get an answer other than “What the hell are you talking about?”
