Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it’s rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

    I agree with all the comments so far but would like to add my own thoughts. Users are not important. Personally I moved to lemmy because the quality of discussion on reddit dropped so much.

    This has been my trajectory:

    • avid reddit user and content creator there (not sure if the right term) 2016 - 2018
    • lurker from 2018 to 2023
    • completely dropped reddit and moved to lemmy

    My hope is that we can have the same kind of content and discussion in pre 2020 reddit

      yeah the comment per day graph is not doing too hot. Subscriber count may be rising but comment count is constantly in the valley.
