I was discussing this with my husband. I think part of it is that some of the Lemmy crowd came over because they were banned on reddit for being hyper-disagreeable, rude, violent lil bastards.

I came over because I got sick of he-get-sus ads

Yeah, I guess aside from fediverse enthusiasts (or whatever), a fair chunk of the early Lemmy adopters may have been banned from Reddit (or at least their favourite subs).

Since the API changes, I wonder if there have been more “normies” moving out this way.
