Since lemmy in specific was meant to be reddit with less overt rejection of left wing subject matter, there’s so many similarities that they’re going to have a lot of overlap in the kinds of people that want to use them.
Then, since lemmy was initially populated by ex reddit users, you run into the foundational culture being essentially the same. Each wave of r/efugees after that causes a fresh mixing, followed by some of those leaving and the rest adapting more towards lemmy culture norms.
The lack of ability to just r/ random words helps weed out low effort shit like woosh and thathappned. So you already have a discernable decrease in empty headed snark. There’s still plenty of it, and lemmy has its own population of assholes that snark in a different way.
Eh, culture bleeds. It mixes at the edges.
