Everyone on Lemmy is a fed.

Reddit is bigger, so it's more diverse and less hateful. But behavioral patterns are the same imo.

.world is basically reddit. Sometimes I wonder why they left. Everywhere else has a delightfully different vibe.

Reddit's conservatives were marginally smarter

Systematically the same. Different weight shift (views and interests). Smaller userbase also makes it a bit different, but will become more similar with more users.

Lemmy is full of tankies and Linux nerds. It's a different kind of toxic to what you'd experience over on Reddit.

I've been trying to figure out if there are fewer bots here. I think there are. If there's any substantive difference between the two that's it.

I dont think we're a bunch of angry 16 year old white boys who worship musk and jbp so no we're not the fucking same

I feel like people are nicer to each other on here, but maybe it's just the communities I subscribe to.

I think it is distinct though I am still sorta new here, I have noticed a lot more tankies as well.

Yes and no. To me it feels like going from one subreddit to another. It is different? Yes. That much different? I don't know, maybe, like going from a big city to a town without leaving the country.

People are all the same everywhere.

I've never seen anybody ponder any orbs on reddit

It's growing one. The dislike of bots and one-liner posts seems like it could actually stick around as a form of etiquette, although it's too early to really say. A lot of readers will remember the poop post a couple years on, too, which counts.

The political bent and heavy tech-orientation are just a reflection of who the early adopters (and devs) are. Ditto for any extra civility or insight on the part of the people posting.
