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.
Yup. Lemmy is a bit more barren than reddit (at least when i was last on reddit), but the conversations you do have are genuine and not some lame joke.
we do get that a lot here though, snarky, canned oneliners for that upvote serotonin boost. But this bizarre phenomon wiht people pavlov’d into posting certain canned redditisms is much less
