Hey everyone, I’m new here and just testing the waters. I’ve been on Reddit for years, but lately it feels like a mix of heavy-handed moderation and echo chambers where any dissenting opinion gets buried.
For those of you who’ve spent real time on Lemmy: • What do you like better here than on Reddit? • What do you miss from Reddit? • Do you feel the culture here is genuinely different, or does it eventually drift the same way?
I’m curious how people see it — especially those who made the switch after the API drama.
There’s a non-political memes comm on Lemmy.ml if you so choose. The fact is, the devs are communists, and a ton of us on Lemmy are communists due to the nature of FOSS, so that’s sort of a natural sorting.
Other instances, such as Lemmy.world, are also politically biased, but towards liberalism. All instances have their own biases, you can’t escape politics for good.
