The one thing I miss about Reddit is the number and diversity of groups. You had many more niche topics and many people under them. What I don't miss is how they were sponsored and dependent on car and oil and gas ads.
Even huge thriving communities on Reddit have zero representation here. The culture is also hyper specific on Lemmy. I find Lemmy to be generally more tolerant of my progressive, feminist, disabled person views but also if I want to talk about them there’s not that many places, but there are what feels like hundreds of options to talk about stuff I have absolutely no interest in like operating systems. I think it’s a diversity issue
Well anyone could start a thread on any topic (like progressive, feminist, disabled, etc) but it's a lot of work to moderate. I got swept from Reddit to Lemmy during the "Buy Canada push a year ago. As for intolerant trolls, I have learned to play with them like a dog would play with furry slippers.
I think we're just going to have to get a lot more interested in operating systems.
