I'd rather have people migrate over organically. I think Reddit was spoiled for me when it went from a niche collection of interesting people and topics to Facebook in a forum format. Almost anytime I go on r/all now i couldn't tell if the posts were recent or bot reposts from 5 years ago. The smaller subreddits still keep the spirit of the place going but the general community is just another social network.

What makes this non organic? I learned about reddit on digg and Lemmy on Reddit. Seemed organic to me.

Maybe they just expect users to accidentally type in the name of a Lemmy instance into the URL bar? Is that organic enough?
