To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)
I like the folk here
TL;DR; Three points:
- my selected communities seem to provide adequate interesting topics - there’s always one or two rabbit holes to go down
- I have a voice - commenting here is transparent and not censored as much as Reddit
- I think the average age of contributors here is greater than the sex and shit joke fixated twelve year olds on Reddit which is a good thing
Windows hate and politics. It’s nothing like reddit imo but it’s all I’ve got as I’ve abandoned reddit.
It’s mostly Linux and Politics, and most of my niche hobbies (and even most of the non-niche ones) are barely represented here, if at all.
It’s really disappointing. I have always been one to consume content, not create it, and it feels like if you’re not creating content there’s very little of interest. I want to like the app, but I find myself spending more time browsing Reddit in a web browser on my phone rather than using Lemmy.
The best thing is that there are much less repost bots (both for posts and comments)
