Thank you for this post!
Reddit is arbitrary.
Welcome here. People might be arbitrary too, but their power is limited.
At least 3 communities thar are not "tech news, political propaganda and memes"
Feel free to contribute there, I guess it's easier to criticize than build something
"It's like email. You can have an account on Gmail and still send emails to Outlook".
Edit: just saw that you mentioned email, so that's usually the easiest analogy.
About success stories, I don't have many, people I know IRL weren't interested in Reddit, so Lemmy is the same.
Pigeon lobby getting stronger every year
there are still many thriving, non-political communities hosted there. To cut them all off would be a net-negative to the average Lemmy user, I would argue.
Agreed. To address this, I started this thread to see which lemmy.ml don't have alternatives on other instances: https://lemmy.world/post/16235541
Hopefully that can help people who want to avoid lemmy.ml.
I guess at the end of the day, people should be able to choose whether they go to the lemmy.ml communities or the alternatives
Privacy: !privacy@lemmy.ml
!privacyguides@lemmy.one is a good one. The instance admin comes and go, but the instance is still up-to-date
Other active options:
They defederated LW and SJW, so probably around 30 to 40% of Lemmy
It is the most discussed topic on https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/
Also, be aware than admins have shadowbanned some instance domain names, and that moderators can ban you for "promotion" if you talk too much about Lemmy instances (been there, done that)
Seems like there is actually an explanation

I did, because other people complained in another comment that it was confusing to not have the older thread on the left.
Anyway, it's pretty obvious which one is which one
