I've never had facebook because I don't trust them with privacy. I've never had an account, but they still have my name, my phone number, my address, and I wouldn't be surprised if they can identify my face with AI.
I'm NOT signing up for them, and I feel like I'm not alone on that.
But as far as content goes, I'm a niche person. Most of my interests don't have communities on Lemmy. But they might......if you infused 58 million new users to the mix.
It's far, far more likely they'll be interested in eugenicism, UN conspiranoia and the divine right of Israel, given the platform they're "branching" from.
I'm not sure that millions of Facebook users are interested in Super Famicom Wars and G-scale trains

Do any of the bots that repost subreddits in Lemmy reverse and post Lemmy communities to reddit?
I’m sure Reddit would ban it if it noticed, but might be a way to attract users here for niche communities.
