Very true. Not a lot of outreach you can do on Lemmy, though. Still a pretty niche platform.

idk, the linux comms here are more helpful than the reddit ones imo. The people are roughly as active, and less hostile.

I agree, but what I mean is that Lemmy has a much smaller userbase. Most people don't even know about it.

EDIT: Also, the smaller userbase may itself be a reason for the more welcoming community.

While it has a smaller userbase, the nerds and linux users are more concentrated here, so there's still a lot of people who can help.
