Hi folks,

As many of you know, /r/EndFPTP has become the de facto electoral-reform subreddit over on reddit.  Many of you post here because you don't agree with the general consensus over at /r/EndFPTP, or maybe you got banned over there.  Regardless, if you're interested in big online forums that aren't reddit to reach new folks, this email is for you!

There's a reddit alternative that seems to have critical mass to talk politics/etc called "Lemmy".  Lemmy is decentralized, but I believe that "lemmy.world" is the largest instance of Lemmy, so I created an electoral-reform community there (A "community" on Lemmy is a "subreddit" on reddit.):

Note that I haven't promoted /c/electorama much yet, so it's pretty quiet right now.  But I did at least post the ElectoramaNews to /c/politics on Lemmy.world and got a few upvotes:

Lemmy obviously doesn't have the reddit folks too worried, and Lemmy still has plenty of usability issues, but I think it stands a good chance of having its moment in the sun eventually.  Regardless of whether it ever becomes even 0.01% as successful as reddit, there's a community of people over there that talk politics, and some of them may not know as much about the Condorcet criterion or monotonicity as they should.  Even though it's a smaller audience, it's not nothing.
