Yeah for Mexico in particular I agree. I’ve heard that before - so you definitely are not alone there - but yeah there just isn’t a large enough base for it to really have taken off. Even your neighbors to the north don’t do much specifically, see e.g. [email protected] with fewer than one post per day, although Canada seems to have a lot more. Europe might have the most people here?

People were excited but the software development just hasn’t happened since a year or two ago. Kbin generated some excitement but failed, and while Mbin took its place it too seems to have stalled. Sublinks was even more exciting, promising to allow conversion of an existing Lemmy instance’s content into the new framework, but a year ago the developer had a baby and disappeared for a long time. Now I place my hope in PieFed, but it’s only slowly catching up to feature parity with Lemmy, even as in some ways it has already far surpassed it (though has yet to be tested at a larger scale).

That said, I cannot stand Reddit anymore - it’s too many arguments rather than facts or kindness.
