A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy) (www.reddit.com)

I haven't seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

@spaduf@slrpnk.net , could you maybe edit your comment to something like

"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
https://vger.app/ if you want an app

Feel free if you have any questions"

also what's the best alternative for Mastodon? a lot of people there already tried Mastodon and didn't like it due to UX/UI issues

I would be good to list Mastodon as well as an alternative, and also listing Mbin might be good too? but then maybe you're putting too many choices lol

didn't like it due to UX/UI issues

That's my biggest beef. But I think maybe it's "ugly like a Mazda truck", as in, it's plain and weird until you get to driving it and then it's just simple and great.

That's my hope anyway.

Misskey's probably the most polished feeling, though under the hood it's apparently a total mess.

Honestly I think the answer is BlueSky. For all the problems that people have with it, it's going to be much more successful in getting people off the Nazi platforms. What's more X->BlueSky->Mastodon seems easier than X->Mastodon for most people.
