Subs like r/BuyFromEU have exploded in Reddit, with 140k users and many more eyes on it, the movement has even made news in many countries.
This is a great place to make people aware of the existence of Lemmy.
On popular posts of people switching away from a US product, I like to comment variants of
While you’re at it
Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative, Lemmy
It also has a Mobile-App
I use it alongside Reddit, and I’m enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
Lemmy already has a growing c/buyEuropean community.
r/BoycottUnitedStates is also and option and so is r/BuyCanadian with 285k users, this is a big audience that wants to move away from US products like Reddit.
Spread the awareness of Lemmy.

I never see anything but good vibes coming from lemmy.ca. It’s like the positive stereotype of Canada embodied in a Fediverse server. Two thumbs up.
Also, I don’t get why !buyfromeu@feddit.org refuses to consolidate with !buyeuropean@feddit.uk given the metrics
