Checked the rules and I think this is allowed? But if you've still got reddit and don't mind being a fediverse evangelist please go consider hitting this thread: https://reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1i6rp3o/decentralized_social_media_is_the_only/

Could you maybe edit your comment to something like

"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

Feel free if you have any questions"

join-lemmy isn't the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true

I would recommend an actual cafe with actual humans in it face to face over this

I agree but let's be honest. That may be how it worked in revolutionary France but that wasn't how it worked in the US in the 20th century. The "3rd Places" that most people were involved in were union halls, civic organizations, and social societies. We've largely forgotten that history, but it's not something we can get back without organizing online first.
