Reddit never had to compete with a musician in search results.
I think the political culture is holding it back more than the name. People poke their heads in and see an environment that is far more left than they’re used to so they head back to Reddit. It can be a shock to see all the moe/loli and communist stuff when they aren’t used to it.
Lemmy needs better marketing. The name is lame an non-descriptive of what it is. The UI, while awesome to the tech savvy is not modern enough to compete with alternatives. For Lemmy to succeed it has to become “cool” and it’s not there yet and seems to lack that sort of direction.
musician
Who?
We could retcon it as named after the koopaling.
As much as I love Motorhead, it’s not a great name.
Based on what I’ve learnt, what’s holding Lemmy back is that a large amount of users are fucking man babies that brigade any women-oriented communities and drive women in general away from this place, while admins just sit back and allow them to. The Lemmy mouse needs a fedora.
If it’s anything like twoxchromosomes I could see why, thanking god I’ve never befriended anyone irl that frequents that place, I assumed the drama site was a lemmy instance and mostly woman oriented but ive never seen it here so I guess not
If you think twoxchromosomes is bad because women there had the nerve to talk about their bad experiences, then actual feminist subs must’ve terrified you.
You draw false conclusions just like them lol? Where did I say its because they talk about their bad experiences.
