It’s because Lemmy is a techy tinkering hub. The same skills and interests needed to be aware of and migrate to Lemmy lend themselves to people migrating to Linux.
Both are free and open source and arguably better than the alternatives of reddit and windows so of course there are a bunch of dorks on here trying to get you to switch.
Both also cut down on how much you can be spied on and manipulated by algorithms so that’s a big incentive to convert people too.

Yup I like control and I can’t stand my computer doing things on its own.
Similarly, I can’t stand how commercial OSes are constantly trying to push their own control on customers. Walled gardens, building in advertising backdoors, pushing AI “features” trying to get customers hooked on their latest venture bubble that’s cooking the planet…
Etc, etc, etc…

You don’t need to. You just open those windows for a nice breeze.
