Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?
Microplastics and PFAS
No, seriously, these two will kill Earth, and us

📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️

As a Reddit user for pretty much any topic in existence, I'm so glad that I've found Lemmy!

Yeah, honestly, that's what the majority of everything does. An insane amount of people freely download malicious apps without any further research or anything, let alone know about open source being a thing.
However, I think certain communities, such as SelfHosted or DataHoarder, would start gradually using Lemmy more due to the nature of their knowledge and awareness about things, which might slowly bring over more people.
I've also seen Lemmy mentioned in a lot of threads about the subreddits shutting down in cooperation as a protest against the Reddit API change. Most are casual users and won't care, and that's unfortunate, but if more and more start spreading awareness and migrating, maybe there'll be a better chance of more of those 80%+ coming here...

What new communities would you like there to be created on lemmy instances lets give them something to work with
Artistic ones, like music production, digital art, etc. maybe?

Oh wow, it's an honor to meet you - thank you so much for your hard work!
I had already started talking about Lemmy to people as soon as I heard about it myself, and I've seen many discussions about it in the most random comment sections on Reddit continuously popping up within the past day or two, so it's definitely starting to receive more and more attention!
