Big uptick last few days. I’ve heard there were more redditors coming over after more dumb stuff occurred recently. There was the Luigi hat thing recently.

I had previously used lemmy a while ago, but wasn't too impressed. Then after getting frustrated with reddit time and time again, I tried again, but couldn't find a simple way to get back here. The other day, a post on reddit detailed a very simple way to get here. And now I'm here. (and loving it very much so far)

Just curious, what was difficult about finding a way to get back here?

Is it because the various instance names are hard to remember?

My theory is that’s why so many new people end up on Lemmy.world. Many of the other popular instances have host names / domain names that are more difficult to remember and to tell someone about verbally.

Yeah it was definitely partly due to the domain names. But a big part of it is that I'm kinda a dumb ass when it comes to this stuff sometimes. I think I went on the playstore and searched lemmy? I honestly can't remember. But the guide I followed was pretty much tailor made to dumbasses/lazy people. I'm so glad I saw it

Luigi is insanely popular among basically everyone even right wingers. Being firmly anti Luigi is a choice for sure, a bad one
