Subs like r/BuyFromEU have exploded in Reddit, with 140k users and many more eyes on it, the movement has even made news in many countries.
This is a great place to make people aware of the existence of Lemmy.
On popular posts of people switching away from a US product, I like to comment variants of
While you’re at it
Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative, Lemmy
It also has a Mobile-App
I use it alongside Reddit, and I’m enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
Lemmy already has a growing c/buyEuropean community.
r/BoycottUnitedStates is also and option and so is r/BuyCanadian with 285k users, this is a big audience that wants to move away from US products like Reddit.
Spread the awareness of Lemmy.
"Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, you can visit https://phtn.app/ to have a look at the content, and install an app using https://vger.app/settings/install.

Thank you.
A detailed explanation on the r/BuyCanadian sub could be impactful given they have ~300k subs.
@Sunshine@lemmy.ca , how do the mods over there react to this kind of posts?
What is the “Best” instance for Canadians to join on Lemmy?
https://lemmy.ca/ , very well managed
I never see anything but good vibes coming from lemmy.ca. It’s like the positive stereotype of Canada embodied in a Fediverse server. Two thumbs up.
Also, I don’t get why !buyfromeu@feddit.org refuses to consolidate with !buyeuropean@feddit.uk given the metrics

People finding the less active community first think it’s the community they are looking for, while most of the activity happens in the other one
Have you tried messaging the mods of either subreddit for the possibility of a merger?
imo the problem isn’t fragmentation, but the fact that most of the !buyfromeu@feddit.org people probably aren’t even aware of !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.
I have, they reaction is
Hey, this discussion obsolete. Both communities are here to stay. Please carry on.

They also banned me for “siphoning users” https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog/1309153
I understand the former reaction, but the ban seems PTB.
Very well written guide. We possibly could repost this in other subreddits with similar issues.
