Subreddits were not a problem before since they were accessible on the web without needing an account. But now reddit is gradually locking them down behind authwalls and things like not letting search engines index (other than Google).

Lemmy communities dont have this problem and because lemmy is federated, its resistant to such enshittification (plus you can easily create your own lemmy instance for only your team). So imo they are a good alternative to forums (and reddit) and a good solution to this problem.

What can we do to get more people to switch over to Lemmy from Reddit?

I found Lenny because someone posted about it on reddit

Awesome! What was the post and what convinced you?

I honestly don’t remember exactly but I think people were complaining about Reddit’s trajectory and someone mentioned lemmy voyager so I download it immediately.

Cool. And are you still using Reddit or are you using Lemmy exclusively?
