Absolutely agree. Saying we don’t have the user base or growth of commercial sites is a straw man argument. That’s not the goal. Building solid communities of real people is.

This is the way. We can all do our part to build and evangelize the fediverse.

Lemmy is a link aggregator as opposed to a microblogging service.

We need to go out and engage users and let them know they have choices.
