Yeah I completely disagree. Imagine if a city/local gov wanted to use Lemmy in order to be self hosted (similar to EU govs switching to Mastodon) but the public just wonders why their local gov put their stuff on a weird circle jerk website that's flooded with niche memes. "Why didn't they use the normal thing (i.e. reddit)?"
We should be welcoming enough that, when someone wants to make a new subreddit, they make Lemmy community instead. And I don't think thats the case right now.
That's fair. Hadn't considered that
"Memes that people don't get are unwelcoming."
If a person sees something they've never seen before, and turns around and flees, that's a problem with them being sheltered and pathetic, not a problem with the new thing they haven't encountered before.
It's not fleeing as much as it is being so bored that that they never really find the motivation to come back.
