Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

Being new to Mastodon and Lemmy I personally struggle to figure things out. Just finding a brief summary on how Lemmy works in contrast to reddit has, so far, yielded no helpful results. While I think for me this is just a matter of sticking with the services I can imagine that a lot of people would check in, struggle and check out again.

The, let's call it infrastructure, of Lemmy and the way registration works due to the fediverse is quite different to what most people are used to.

For me it's the lack of content that is killing Lemmy. It's just not nearly as entertaining here as it was on Reddit. I know the community isn't the same size so it isn't comparable really, but it's just the same content here day after day.

It is against the idea of the fediverse, but if you point a new user to a general purpose Lemmy instance and tell to sign up there, there isn't much difference to reddit?

Default to the all communities feed, a single sign in page and they're good to go.
