Was originally thinking of posting Lenmy content on Reddit to less directly advertise Lemmy, but in the communities I follow, its almost exclusively content or already posted to, or directly originating from Reddit. This got me wondering if there were any niches that Lemmy serves better than other, larger platforms.
Non mainstream opinions. Anything outside the extremely small overton window on Reddit is immediately hidden, deleted or downvoted. Lemmy has far more diverse opinions, and I also believe that it leads to more interesting discussion. I enjoy being in the same room with people who don’t share all my opinions. I find it more interesting and engaging.
