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.

Have you tried messaging the mods of either subreddit for the possibility of a merger?

imo the problem isn't fragmentation, but the fact that most of the !buyfromeu@feddit.org people probably aren't even aware of !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.

They also banned me for "siphoning users" https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog/1309153

I understand the former reaction, but the ban seems PTB.

To be honest, they have been posting links to that other community under pretty much every post. It did get a bit annoying in my opinion (as a normal user) too.
