Start telling people now, over on reddit. BEFORE they start cracking down. That way, everyone will know, and the growth will happen even more rapidly.

comparing this all to Reddit

Are you somehow unaware that this platform is SPECIFICALLY A REPLACEMENT FOR REDDIT?

You're acting as if the comparison is somehow unwarranted. The Fediverse/Lemmy is an alternative to and/or a direct replacement for Reddit. Nothing more, nothing less. It has the same feature set, the same basic format, the same intended use cases. It's an open/free/non-corporate version of Reddit, to belabor the point. Comparing it to Reddit is only sensible.

Or are you like one of those GIMP users who really bristles at the notion that the GIMP is intended to replace Photoshop?

Also, please address my point that we don't have any control over what Reddit does. This isn't about my patience. Reddit IS about to make a lot of corporate-ass decisions that will cause them to shed users BY THE TENS OF MILLIONS, and a whole shitload of them will land here.

Again: neither of us can control that. Neither our patience nor our eagerness will have any effect on it. It's just going to happen. And I made a meme about how perverts can and/or should be harnessed to grow the community.
