I think the best way to convince people to use the fediverse is by pointing out they are likely already using social media other than just reddit, so they should add the fediverse into the mix instead of being so hesitant about it.

Trying to make it like a reddit replacement I think is adding some barrier to adoption psychologically. But, these same people are fine using reddit, twitter, instagram, threads, tiktok, bluesky, etc. So it's not like they dont have room to also use the fediverse like lemmy.
