The average user doesn't want to migrate here, though. The average user is either content to keep their Reddit account or thinking on migrating to another big centralised platform.
Open-source decentralised platforms like the fediverse and its projects aren't remotedly interesting for the average user.
"The growth" of the fediverse in general or of any platform in it is not responsibility of one server. The only thing Beehaw admins are responsible for is Beehaw.
If you want Lemmy to grow create your own communities and threads, participate in other people's communities and posts, etc.
there are more than 1000 Lemmy servers, many of whom are open to community creation (something that Beehaw never has been)
Go create content on Lemmy if you want it to grow.
BTW, "growth" is not necessarily a good thing on the fediverse. Growing too much can be the death of a server.
What if...just hear me...what if you just enjoy your time on the threadiverse and live Reddit alone?
The beauty of the fediverse is that those people exist in their own servers and you can simply join servers that defederate from theirs.
Yes. Defederation of bad actors has always been common and it's expected.
If anybody wants to share a link to kbin/Lemmy so people join, don't send the official Lemmy or Kbin page (or the official page of any federated platform) nor the link to any given server. Share instead links to the Join the fediverse wiki, fedeverse party, etc that have lists of servers and also have posts explaining anything a person needs to know to start an account on any decentralized platform/server.

Most of these are alt-right/nazi and tankie instances/hubs/pods that are globally defederated and that they imported from a public list of "defederable servers".
The blocked and limited list of my mastodon server is way bigger than Beehaw's.
You mean if the instance I'm in defederated from one of them?
Well, I have a Beehaw account, so even if this server and Beehaw defederated, I'll still have access to Beehaw-hosted content. Also, I tend to not participate in Beehaw communities from my kbin account.
I don't care much about Lemmy World, my kbin instance (this one, the one I'm registered in) federates with it, cool, but I wouldn't be angry if it didn't.
I wouldn't care either way.
But, there's no actual risk of Beehaw defederating from any Kbin instance nor did the admins cut federation completely. People are making this issue way bigger than it actually is.
Beehaw didn't defederate from everyone else, just from two instances. the threadiverse and the fediverse are much more bigger than these two servers.
I wanna give it a try, but I've been looking at the servers and I haven't found the one for me and what I'll use the account for. Nor do I know of any account on a pixelfed server I could be interested in following...to just follow accounts on completely different federated servers it wouldn't make any sense to me.
