The big difference is 1. Finding communities is not easy. Can you name every one of your interests off the top of your head? 2. Just punching in communities from reddit 1 for 1 doesn't work. 3. Content and user base. There are no discussions for my favorite podcasts here and if there are where do I find them.

It took me a decade to build out a decent sub list on Reddit and I still stumble upon new interests now and again. I don't know how to "stumble upon" decent communities on Lemmy and I'm sick of wading through cartoon horse cocks.

If you have a decent list from Reddit you can use https://sub.rehab to map Reddit to Lemmy / Kbin

If you just want to look for communities you can use https://browse.feddit.de

Takes some time to get everything set up but I honestly prefer having only stuff that interests me in my feed + no porn randomly popping up

Yeah I think that respondent is being defensive and really doesn't get the point.

Discovery sucks. Its really bad and its hurting the ability of lemmy to be a viable alternative.

Option number 2 worked pretty well for me, porting from Reddit. Not perfect but then neither was reddit.
