I think because they are uninformed. They are looking for alternatives, and don't know about Lemmy, or don't understand Lemmy, etc.
It’s exactly this, I only found lemmy through a sticky comment inside a post 2 days ago, and I’ve been wanting to get off Reddit for months
Loki it might help if the special interest boards were more active, also the porn is way more well hidden here than it is on Reddit.
You haven't encountered them on your front page yet???
Wait you're getting it on your front page?
How?!? I subscribed to every porn instance I could find and still all I'm getting are politics, programming, and for some reason atheist memes.
I think you should change your default page from All/Local to Subscribed
I'll try that
Unfortunately, to understand lemmy is to be on lemmy. You have to be here and experience it.
They have to make that leap of faith. There's nothing to lose anyway, there's no requirement to delete reddit to become a lemmy user. So what's holding them back. Mauve they believe the anti lemmy post on reddit or maybe they just say they want to leave reddit but has no real desire to follow through.
But.... what about my 83k karma and 13 year badge!
Gamification is a powerful addictive force.
When Reddit locked down their API and Boost stopped working, I forced myself to do casual browsing on chrome on my phone. It was clunky enough that I didn't bother replying to comments, and navigation is a bit of a pain on mobile, and that was enough to ruin the game.
What a shame. Imagine if all those users were aware about the Fediverse
