Don’t underestimate how much resistance to change stops people from looking beyond the status quo. Moving away from Reddit is a clear example. I suspect a lot of lurkers from Reddit are actually from the category of Late Majority or Laggards

On the other hand YSK if you need to gain weight fast (for example before an operation, or if you’re having health issues) adding protein shakes into your regular diet does the trick. If you don’t have any protein powder on hand you can use slimming shakes since most of them have a high protein and vitamin concentration, since they are meant to replace meals. If instead of replacing meals you supplement them with those shakes it is a fast way to gain weight. Twice I needed to gain weight fast: once before a surgery, once due to extreme weight loss caused by an ED, and both times I used shakes to supplement meals (doctor’s approval) with success.
I tried it, put in the link to the community (one of the main Support ones) and nothing happened… tried with another, again nothing. I thought I was using the wrong link, went from the web app, searched for it, copied the link from the search results, went back to Mlemm, pasted it and again nothing…. :(
Posting this again, as for some reason it got posted as a reply…
I’m playing about. I am on IOS so I saved the web app on the home screen as well and I find myself using it to find new communities/ comment/ post. I like Memmy as I enjoy the look and feel, I just feel it’s lacking a bit of functionality (such as receiving notifications, or searching for communities), but it easier to block communities on it. Mlem is nice as well, but again lacking a bit functionality wise (does not have search, cannot see post history, cannot receive notifications). At the moment I am switching between them depending on my needs at the moment and I will decide on one depending on their development in the future. I don’t mind testing new stuff and I enjoy discovering updates as they are coming on each of them

Edit: sorry, don’t know why it posted as reply, I thought I was replying to the main thread
There a new influx in the user migration as well, as some subreddits started pinning lemmy and kbin.social instances on their subs. Also if you go on protest subreddits (such as ModCoord and Save3rdPartyApps) almost every post has a thread/comment redirecting people to the fediverse.
