On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?”
The only place I hear people even talk about tankies is on Lemmy. You are really in an echo chamber if you think that tankies are the first thing that people think of when you mention Lemmy. In reality, it’s either “What’s Lemmy?” or “Lemmy is too difficult. Federation confuses me.”
Idk if you’ve just been under a rock and never noticed (which is admittedly possible, because Reddit just has so many people it’s easier to never notice them) or are just being intentionally deceptive. But tankies are absolutely on Reddit, they have multiple subreddits there. Hell, Lemmy started because dessalines got perma banned from Reddit because of their tankie crap and literally did the bender meme
I have personally been asked about the tankies on Lemmy and others have seen it too, it absolutely does come up
