I think there are other factors at play. The community here is much smaller and the few people that are here are likely more dedicated and knowledgeable.

I’d probably bet that the people that have filtered through to Lemmy probably already have their own data storage already sorted - you’ve got less “casuals” as it were. I use Google Drive myself, trying to figure out an alternative.

I only have about 1tb of important data (photos, important videos or documents etc). The other stuff is just movies, series or music you probably will find everywhere after 20 anyway so im storing the important stuff on a hetzner storage box (encrypted of course with cryptomator) and the rest of it on onedrive. Onedrive because i can easily stream the .mp4 files without needing to download them
