Or made any kind of commentary on it? Or are they depending on being deathly silent to reduce the chance of anyone finding out?

        Exactly. I love how there is actual discourse here rather than petty bickering and useful discussions are happening on here that I didn’t encounter on reddit

          Its really cool to see username@instance1 and username@instance2 on community instance3. It means Activityhub is doing its job and making us truly federated.

          I hope it continues as Lemmy gets bigger, but I’m kind of doubtful it won’t eventually decay in the same way as reddit. At least, I don’t see anything inherently different that would avoid that. Perhaps the federation and moderation structure might help, but that doesn’t seem certain yet…

      Pretty much. I still occasionally have to go to reddit for some random questions, and the difference in tone is often rather jarring.

        It’s an impressive difference really. I’ve yet to be called any slurs here, and most people seem to follow the “upvote if it adds to the discussion, downvote if it doesn’t” principle. I’m totally fine with a more limited amount of content if that’s the tradeoff.

          Yeah. It largely reminds me of what reddit used to be a long time ago, a place for interesting stuff and to have a pleasant conversation.

        Based on how nerdy lemmy seems to be with all the Linux talk the demographic that is more similar to old reddit.

        There was a period early in reddit when it seemed more techy. Later on it became more mainstream with a shift towards people posting in a manner more similar to Facebook and Instagram sharing more personal pics and memes.

      My experience with people on Reddit was better than the one with people on Lemmy, but i am probably an exception considering the amount of people saying Lemmy is much better than Reddit
