Subs like r/BuyFromEU have exploded in Reddit, with 140k users and many more eyes on it, the movement has even made news in many countries.
This is a great place to make people aware of the existence of Lemmy.
On popular posts of people switching away from a US product, I like to comment variants of
While you're at it
Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative, Lemmy
It also has a Mobile-App
I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
Lemmy already has a growing c/buyEuropean community.
r/BoycottUnitedStates is also and option and so is r/BuyCanadian with 285k users, this is a big audience that wants to move away from US products like Reddit.
Spread the awareness of Lemmy.

@Sunshine@lemmy.ca , how do the mods over there react to this kind of posts?
Sunshine@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y
They seem pretty friendly to the Lemmy idea as I saw one post reach the front page of the subreddit without being taken down.
whitePoppy42@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
They encourage people to switch over :)

What is the "Best" instance for Canadians to join on Lemmy?
Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 24 pts · 1y
https://lemmy.ca/ , very well managed

I never see anything but good vibes coming from lemmy.ca. It's like the positive stereotype of Canada embodied in a Fediverse server. Two thumbs up.

I'm not Canadian, but I'm on lemmy.ca and like it very much.

Also, I don't get why !buyfromeu@feddit.org refuses to consolidate with !buyeuropean@feddit.uk given the metrics
!buyeuropean@feddit.uk
!buyfromeu@feddit.org
People finding the less active community first think it's the community they are looking for, while most of the activity happens in the other one

Have you tried messaging the mods of either subreddit for the possibility of a merger?
imo the problem isn't fragmentation, but the fact that most of the !buyfromeu@feddit.org people probably aren't even aware of !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.

I have, they reaction is

They also banned me for "siphoning users" https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog/1309153

I understand the former reaction, but the ban seems PTB.

To be honest, they have been posting links to that other community under pretty much every post. It did get a bit annoying in my opinion (as a normal user) too.

There was a post on r/Europe the other day for swapping away from US products, and that is how I found out about this place. I'm now Reddit free

Very well written guide. We possibly could repost this in other subreddits with similar issues.
