I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin

Most people aren’t even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It’s not that hard.

Never underestimate the power of comfort and convenience. “It’s just too HARD to move!,” people will say. “Everybody I know is here!,” they’ll say. I’ve heard people say this a lot since the social media collapse sparked by Elon Musk. It’s their choice, but I’m not comfortable staying. Maybe in time they’ll realize that it’s the right time to leave as well.

I second this and have experienced it myself trying to move to privacy-oriented options for online and mobile services.

I think Reddit is a bit unique in the SNS space, since the primary unit of subscription is community (or topic) rather than user, so I think it serves to depersonalize the platform a little bit, and remove some of the power of “Everybody I know is here!”

The reality is people hate change, especially from a platform they already feel comfortable with.
