Lemming (verb): the act of doing lemmy Lemm-on (noun): having erected lemmy. So only instance owners can be called lemmons. The correct term for the rest of us is: Lemmer (noun): someone who does lemmy

I realize you are asking books and not necessarily audiobooks but for audiobooks I follow a few good narrators that I know only do books I will like. This way I am almost always guaranteed a good book, and as a bonus I already know the narration quality will be perfect.

My [paranoid] take: its vaporware designed to distract from the reddit fiasco, with plans fo mr meta to later absorb reddit instead of a reddit IPO. Reddit users are very different than Twitter users; the mass exodus didn’t happfrom Twitter to Mastodon, but looks very promising from reddit to lemmy/kbin. And it takes only one social media giant to crumble for the rest to follow. Once people are on Fediverse there is no going back

Fair points. Mentioning lemmy.world was just a little bit of “instance pride”! But my main argument is that the majority of people currently coming to lemmy seem to be tech savvy and/or have already been on fediverse. And leaving the rest of the users behind wont work. Many of the greatest contributors to reddit had non-tech specialties that were valuable for commenting on specific topics (eg law, medicine, civil engineering, etc.). I have been wondering how we can show these people that lemmy is not as terrifyingly complex as they make it sound to be.
