    Honestly Lemmy is much better than I thought it would be. My main problem is the lack of some niche communities that are on Reddit. For example as a GW2 player I get all my news about game updates & store discounts etc from the GW2 subreddit, but I don’t see Lemmy taking that over anytime soon, if ever. Maybe I’ll need to use a Reddit scraper for that, if I want to completely abandon the platform.

    What I dislike about Reddit is the system of incentivizing karma farming. This leads to unhealthy posting behaviors that always bugged me. So far to me it seems Lemmy does not have that, so it’s a huge win.

    I have commented more here in 2 days than in the past year on reddit, somehow when it’s a smaller community like this it’s much easier for me

      For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?
