      Do you think that Lemmy is popular enough as a Reddit alternative that we don’t need those kind of posts?

      The reasoning behind them is that most of the time when someone brings up Lemmy on Reddit as an alternative using European servers, the general consensus is that the Lemmy isn’t a suitable alternative, usually for incorrect arguments, so if a few people here can try to reverse that trend that can help giving Lemmy a better image over the long term.

      Feel free to hide those posts of you don’t like them, there are usually one or two per week

        That’s one way to see it, but if I came from Reddit looking for an alternative and found that people are just talking about Reddit here I’d see little reason to make the switch. Kinda gives me “jealous ex who can’t let go” vibes. Don’t know about one or two posts per week, I didn’t count but it just feels like a lot more to me.

          I just had a look, here are the posts (https://feddit.nl/search?q=%2Fr%2FbuyfromEU&type=Posts&listingType=All&communityId=805743&page=1&sort=New)

          • 5 days ago
          • 6 days ago
          • 7 days ago
          • 8 days ago (so indeed, more like a daily post)
          • 11 days ago
          • no other similar post for a month

          So 5 posts in a month.

          that people are just talking about Reddit

          It’s a very minor topic. As stated in another comment,
