Text for readability:

So far, Americans using RedNote have said they don't care if China has access to their data. Viral videos on TikTok in recent days have shown Americans jokingly saying they will miss their personal "Chinese spy," while others say they are purposefully giving RedNote access to their data in a show of protest against the wishes of the U.S. government.

"This also highlights the fact that people are thirsty for platforms that aren't controlled by the same few oligarchs," Quintin said. "People will happily jump to another platform even if it presents new, unknown risks."

"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

Feel free if you have any questions"

I think that's already too complicated. And the part about the server location is irrelevant as the person doing the invite should already know where the person they are inviting is located. It should be just a "Welcome to Lemmy, click below to register and afterwards you are shown a QR code to link a mobile app like [insert recommended option] if you want".

It's not, because I use that on /r/Redditalternatives where I have no way to know where people reading the comment are located

That's not an invite but random promotion then though. Basically an advertisement.

Promotion indeed, not a precise invitation.

Trying to get people on Reddit looking for an alternative about Lemmy, as that seems the best way to get more users here.

Server choice affects content discoverability, I don't think omitting that helps in the long run.

They're going to be fine with those two. Mentioning federation issues from the get go is the best to get them uninterested in Lemmy immediately
