Are you ever used Voyager (https://vger.app/ https://vger.app/settings/install) ? Seems quite easy to use, there is even a tool to discover similar communities to your Reddit subscriptions when you first start the app.

I regularly see people saying they just use Voyager, they don’t even know what instance they are using.

Yes, spent quite some time too trying to explain who things work rather than how people thought they worked.

Not sure how much we achieved, but we tried.

Ah, I see. That could work. Maybe post this idea on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com to see if someone can come up with a nice infographic

I was definitely not paid, I saw them on /r/BuyfromEU, maybe someone got paid to post them there

Trying to mention Maston, Pixelfed and Lemmy at once seems confusing and to go against the KISS principle. Usually, people are looking for an alternative to one of the three, so pointing them to the one makes more sense.

However, talking about pics, https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started is a cool guide with cute illustrations. I usually refer to it when people are already on Lemmy and ask questions on how federation works

Amazing, looking forward to it!

No worries, the actual consensus is actually to do it is in a one-liner, similar to what you’re saying

What is Lemmy in one sentence?

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.

https://old.reddit.com/r/BoycottUnitedStates/comments/1jrcrh6/lemmy_as_an_nonus_alternative_to_red_dit_using/

The issue is that if you just give them the one-liner with a “trust me, it’s better, but you won’t know why” will raise a lot of questions. Hence all of the explanations after the one-liner. But I make sure to insist that most people shouldn’t read those

If you are still reading, it means that you want to know more about how things are running.

Thanks for sharing!

I updated the original post to include the video review

Do we still see the UK as Europe?

I do, it’s not like the British Isles moved continents.

Makes sense!

Yeah no, that’s definitely the /r/buyfromEU subreddit in this case

Could you please link the propper buyFromEU ?

What you mean by that?

Usually when I post on Reddit I promote Lemmy as a whole, not a specific community: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1j0xkqa/lemmy_as_an_alternative_to_reddit_using/

I stumbled upon this paragraph reading their Terms and Conditions, so seems relevant to mention

2. Affiliated Entities

While Go European’s volunteers met through the Reddit community r/BuyFromEU, the two operate as separate and independent entities. Go European has no control over and accepts no responsibility for content posted on the r/BuyFromEU subreddit, and all such content remains the sole property of the users who posted it.

https://www.goeuropean.org/terms-conditions

That’s what I thought.

@SrMono@feddit.org FYI

Thank you!

As a general comment, go-european is managed by the mods of /r/buyfromEU, who

• still haven’t added a link to Lemmy in their sidebar or pinned post, while Lemmy is the obvious alternative to Reddit
• have removed several posts mentioning Lemmy on their sub:
• https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39615909?scrollToComments=true
• https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39083458?scrollToComments=true
• https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39044801?scrollToComments=true

So they seem like they want to keep the control of the buyfromEU/buyeuropean movement

Thank you for sharing

From the Matrix chat, @buyeuropean@feddit.org

I will write a reply and then we have something on lemmy to refer to as well…will do so the next days.

Thank you for chiming in
