Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

I wouldn’t necessarily chalk that up to an intentional misinformation campaign. Federated social media is more complicated than non-federated to explain to people. I think folks just need to use better messaging. Like, “I use Lemmy at https://programming.dev” for example. That way folks are directed to a specific website with a sign up button as opposed to (searching then finding) a website listing multiple different websites.
People get these things mixed up all the time, it is more complicated to explain.
But it’s not more complicated to use, somebody who doesn’t even know about federation can use lemmy just fine, provided they’re given the link to an instance.
this is the only thing that would trip such a person up: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048
