MODERATORS
Having a small community is a blessing and a curse. Reddit grew too large of a user base, and the quality of interactions took a significant decline around 2015 or so. I'm hoping Lemmy (and federation in general) can bring back what I found special about Reddit around 2009-2010.
I see some of the issues that Reddit has (one-word or low-effort comments, people not reading the article, atrocious grammar/spelling), but it doesn't seem to be the norm. I've been visiting Lemmy for around a year but have finally decided to stop using Reddit and become active over here.
Those issues you point out ("that reddit has") seem to be common on all medium/large platforms. One word comments like "first" and "this" were common on sites like digg, long before reddit came along. And spelling/grammar mistakes are older than the internet.
The comment section of Digg was very different from Reddit. The Digg redesign was the original reason I ended up moving to Reddit.
Their were some one word replies and grammar mistakes but it was certainly not the norm in the subs I frequented at the time.
I can't say much about other social media sites, as Reddit is the only one I have used with any regularity.
