Because people resent change.
It already has an established platform with so much information people won't switch becouse reddit already has all information they need
There's a sociological study that analyzes cultural change and acceptance of new ideas. It's called the technology adoption lifecycle. I still think we are in the early stages. I would consider reddit refugees as the early adopters.
Many subs there have 1000x the users that the equivalent subs here do. That does make a difference.
Why wouldn't they want to stay? It works for them. Before ideology, before morality, before any other thing you can conceive of is plain, simple convenience. And Reddit is certainly convenient. Once enough users leave, they'll leave, too.
Maybe they have some little niche communities they do not want to just abandon.
That is why I still use reddit - when you have a really niche hobby or interest and finally discover a community of people that you can share the joy of that interest with, that feels great - you do not want to lose that community that you have longed for for so long.
I am part of some niche communities that have an activity level and a user base that is hard to beat on reddit. I am doing my part here on Lemmy and created local c/dolls and c/denpasong communities on my home instance, but of course nobody is interested here on Lemmy. I am giving Lemmy some time of course, but I am afraid that I will stay lonely with my little communities here on Lemmy unfortunately.
I also don't understand it. Didn't they always have problems there with Reddit deleting pinned threads and their wiki full of information, to the point where information had to be collected on an external page?

The communities i care about the most are ghosttowns on lemmy so I have to go to the subs
Someome should point them to what happened over at r/assholedesign
I would, but I don't know how to do that without breaking the first rule
Don't even need to do that. Just need to point to what happened to /r/megalinks
Looked through the archive from 2019 /u/qefbuo said
Personally I think we should move to a decentralized network like Diaspora, anywhere we gather that's centralized is on borrowed time.
Or what more recently happened with r/newyuzupiracy

When reddit decides a ban hammer is going to strike there is no warning.

Because Lemmy isn’t as conveniently accessed, and it’s just slow.
It’s also confusing.

From what I've gathered people generally like using shitty platforms.
How do you even open the site on mobile without having to install the app? I keep getting an overlay. Can't we just post screenshots from now on and stop generating traffic on their site.

It's not like everyone visiting /r/piracy was part of the community itself (which moved to greener pastures). Many visited the sub as part of casual browsing.
