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.
I like that it’s FOSS, and that there are a lot more leftists here.
Some niche communities, that’s about it.
Yep, there’s a lot more Linux and FOSS content, as well as a lot of communists and anarchists (though Lemmy.world blocks the communist instances from you, so that should be harder to notice).
I’ve been here since the API drama, but many have been here for a lot longer.
