I've recommended it to my friends, but they've instead chosen to take the fall of Reddit as an opportunity to just... step back from the internet. One friend just... isn't browsing Reddit at all on mobile anymore, and is instead just using old.reddit.com on desktop, and culled most of the subs he used to follow, keeping only some small communities.

I respect it, but still feel something like Reddit has a place in my life, but have no faith whatsoever in Reddit itself, and the apps are better here, so I'm completely switched over. I imagine they may still move here in time. Lemmy is a part of my life now, so I'll continue to mention it and share links to things from it, but I've no desire to force the issue.
