Pretty depressing thread tbh, still the same old misconceptions and that sentiment that anything they have to do is a huge roadblock and means Lemmy is doomed to failure, like picking a server is such a huuuuge hurdle..

Another interpretation is that these threads are reaching users who haven't heard of Lemmy yet. That would be a positive thing.

On the other hand, there's a strong survivor bias as people genuinely interested in moving are probably already here and left Reddit.

The people still on /r/RedditAlternatives now do probably all have an issue with Lemmy at this point.

That’s why the work you and a couple other lemmings do is so important.

It is some kind of hurdle, and on Mastodon is WAY worse. I just chose mine because it was promoted in a subreddit related to my country.

Look at this way, reddit keeps banning ppl and now they are at least becoming aware of lemmy so they'll try it then
