Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Thank
In truth i don't see why it increased the proportion of US user. In fact Reddit wasn't popular outside US. And US if i recall correctly is one of the biggest internet country.
And when the migration started due to spez's decision to milk Reddit and its users's data, most of users stayed in Reddit and smaller commuties have a hard time to attract those Redditors since our activity is low.
Futhermore i follow most of jlai.lu active user through iceshrimp, my tab called "Lemmy" is in english.
So the final result isn't surprising. 😅
I'm not following the proportion point, but about non-US on reddit, r/france has 2.1 M readers and r/de has 2.7 M readers. They are very active, it completely dwarves anything on Lemmy. Any national subject is going to be discussed there. I am not using those by activism, but I can't blame the average person to prefer those vastly more active places.
Look at the daily posts on [email protected]. They have several hundreds of comments every day, because the mods of /r/Melbourne supported the migration to Lemmy.
[email protected] is kind of similar in that space, they had an official post to move to feddit a year ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/ich_iel/comments/14d65o7/%C3%B6ffentliche_dienstmeldung_%C3%A4nderung_der/
Meanwhile the mods of /r/France just removed every post mentioning Jlai.lu as it was "a social network".
Shaking my head.
