Unfortunately, to understand lemmy is to be on lemmy. You have to be here and experience it.

They have to make that leap of faith. There's nothing to lose anyway, there's no requirement to delete reddit to become a lemmy user. So what's holding them back. Mauve they believe the anti lemmy post on reddit or maybe they just say they want to leave reddit but has no real desire to follow through.

But.... what about my 83k karma and 13 year badge!

Gamification is a powerful addictive force.

When Reddit locked down their API and Boost stopped working, I forced myself to do casual browsing on chrome on my phone. It was clunky enough that I didn't bother replying to comments, and navigation is a bit of a pain on mobile, and that was enough to ruin the game.
