I'm out of the loop. What's this "Reddit thread from earlier today"?
Also, yes, welcome to former Reddit users. I'm also a former Redditor, but I left during the API pricing fiasco.

A thread on r/technology about Decentralized Social Media actually got some good traction so a few of us logged back in to promote Lemmy a bit lol
This post is currently at the top of r/AskReddit, the following comment is currently at the top:
My honest opinion is I’d like to see the internet become decentralized again and less monetized.
This new hyper-monetized internet sucks so hard and places like X, YouTube, and Reddit are the issue.
Link - there's already some suggestions of Lemmy, but it would be good to keep adding more!
Thanks for that. One of the comments at the top mentions the Web Revival. Great concept, of which we are playing our part. Might consider a community for that...
Ah! Cool! Always good to be expanding the fediverse.
what did the greedy little pigboy do this time?
An article titled "Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy" hit the front page of r/technology and the top comment mentioned lemmy as a reddit alternative. Although the comment was removed when the OP later edited it to include a direct link to join-lemmy.org. Which probably indicates those mods have automod configured to automatically remove links to that site. But the good news is, it still got a lot of attention. It'll be interesting to see if any instance admins will be able to verify an uptick in account registrations over the next few days.

There's now a thread on the removal which might make an easier place to add recommendations:

Hey newbies! Confused about how it all works? Don't worry, you'll get used to the confusion. Also, check out !creepywikipedia@lemmy.world for a good niche community.
Damn I've been here this whole time and I'm still not subscribed to that community. Nice one!
It actually is true that it takes time to find your way around the fediverse. But that's also kind of nice because it means there's always cool new communities to find. A lot of my current favorite communities are ones I didn't find until after being here for over a year.
I should take the time to make a list of some of the hidden gems and sticky it somewhere.
