I do like it here, but would like to see more activity in specific communities like automechanic help or RV repair.
Windows hate and politics. It's nothing like reddit imo but it's all I've got as I've abandoned reddit.
I never had a reddit account so I used it's implosion as a push off to set me free from 4chan but also not going to that overly policed place.
I think Lemmy is a nice middle ground.
I like how many of the users don't resort to memes or namecalling (not that there aren't a few here and there) and the replies are straightforward
lots of people viewing and few posting so posts get more attention but there's less stuff
also less complaining
That is a benefit and a drawback for me. The benefit is that I am less addicted to my phone because the content is finite. The drawback is that I need my fix damnit.
TL;DR; Three points:
- my selected communities seem to provide adequate interesting topics - there's always one or two rabbit holes to go down
- I have a voice - commenting here is transparent and not censored as much as Reddit
- I think the average age of contributors here is greater than the sex and shit joke fixated twelve year olds on Reddit which is a good thing
