Wrong answers only. The stranger the better!
I can’t tell if this is a serious question or not, but it’s pretty complicated to fully explain. The short of the long of it is that now that MySpace has started to use retina verification for their 2FA, people are upset that it’s an invasion of privacy due to the reflective nature of human ball eyes. Since Lemmy only requires a password for mod accounts, it’s an easier platform for people to use to share embedded auto play music and glittery gifs. I don’t think it’ll last though, word on the street is that Digg is going to be removing all authentication methods soon, so I expect a majority of the userbase will move there
We came to lemmy after reddit become nice and started letting people use there api without playing. Reddit even open sourced there code as a bonus! We didn’t like reddit being nice so we switched to lemmy. Lemmy is much better because its close source and full of spyware. Lemmy makes people pay 100 dollars for every api request. Us Lemmings love are spyware, bloatware, adware, malware, and virus all in one fun packet!
Communism. Americans decided they would fight KKK and Nazism with the same vigor and discovered that communism was way better.
Nothing wrong with communism but we joined Lemmy because we love China’s brand of far-right
Actually I discovered that it’s the illuminati activating a temporal imbalance, causing the same 72 hours to repeat itself until

When Lemmy Kravitz said “it’s Lemmy Time” and Lemmied all over those guys.
It was me
Word got out about the amazing and intuitive UI, and the ease with which you can find and subscribe to your interests. Personally, I’m never going back to AOL.
Reddit is too nice to look at.
Lemmings have become the most popular animal on the planet, all the new users are confused as to what a lemming is.
elon is going to buy lemmy
somone is testing the new chat-gtp version and seeing if they could fool everyone.
The Poop post hit 9Gag a few days days ago. Then a bunch of them started coming to “Lemmy: Discorse is Magic” all the time “ironically.” There were a bunch of inside jokes about how much they “hated” Lemmy. They even came up with a name to identify each other because this joke of loving Lemmy was so funny. They called themselves Broemmys.
Then a bunch of other sites started to notice all the 9gaggers coming to Lemmy but didn’t know that it was supposed to be ironic, so they just came and had a really good time. They participated and were active in communities. They learned of the fediverse and just decided it was a really great place to be… Sometimes there was some NSFW stuff.
Then a bunch of them got together and decided throw Broemmycon and they hired a really pretty good band who does Broemmy based music to come and play as the event headliner. And everyone had a good time, even the old 9gaggers who used to think it was a joke.
Instinctive migration.
Ah yes, the great seasonal migration of the Redditors. At Lemmy they graze during the summer months, only to return to their breeding grounds on Reddit during the winter.
