What’s got your goat? Also, does anyone remember who this is?

I’m very interested to see what happens when the apps close down. If that shift to Lemmy that people here sense will happen will actually occur.
I know many people that are just going to stop using Reddit after their app shuts down, but I don’t know if they will replace that with a threadiverse alternative.
Always felt that since it was never officially endorsed by the r/Gunners mod on the sub, a lot of people simply aren't aware of this place.
The ones that are, might be put off by the onboarding process - which isn't exactly straightforward nor user friendly... For reddit, it's sign up -> search for community -> start participating. Whereas here on Lemmy its like: choose an instance -> sign up (wait for approval, if needed) -> log in (some might encounter the dreaded spinning circle) -> search for community (might not show up if the other instance is unfederated) -> participate.
The ones that have made it still complain about how this site feels outdated, too barebones, "like a website from 2008", etc.
Guess in the meantime while we wait for updates to the platform we'll just do what we do best; shitpost, give our uninformed hot takes and in your case create high-quality poorly drawn art!
@little_niggle @poorlydrawnarsenal I think it's best to give people the signup link (i.e. https://lemmy.world/signup) for a server where there's a community they're interested in. Removing the analysis paralysis of figuring out which server to join goes a long way to encouraging people to give it a go.
Yeah I was actively promoting this place during the early days, but I didn’t want to risk spamming the sub and get people annoyed…
Think the way to go now is if the r/Gunners Reddit mods create an official pinned post or add it to the sidebar then perhaps we’ll see a higher influx.
For now we’re still seeing day on day growth, which is encouraging!
