Yeah I experienced that when I tried to invite some of the people in a subreddit to one I created in lemmy. I even invited the admins to lemmy to admin as well.
I’m really surprised how unwilling people are to change even if it’s in their best interest.
This is the way. A major selling point of lemmy, well to me, is that it is a lot less toxic than Reddit. Best to advertise that fact than emulate the toxicity of Reddit and turn off those on the fence of migrating.
This is so exciting! Finally!
