    Welcome.

    I’ve been here a year and it’s great. Prior to leaving Reddit, I was really disenfranchised with their community. Everyone on Reddit are insanely negative, pedantic fuck weasels. Subs were rife with bots that posted the same banal content, and turned into giant echo chambers. It was near impossible to have an opinion contrary to the popular one.

    Lemmy is smaller, but our content is great and our communities are very friendly. You get to be you without much worry of some dickcheese jumping down your throat.

    You’re gonna like it here






















  • OP mentions that there isn’t enough content.

    I made the hard switch with a lot of other users on June 13, 2023. I haven’t looked back. It was a bit weird to wrap my head around lemmy and federation at first. Lemmy also grew astronomically in those initial few months. More communities opened up, etc. A lot of those communities have died off, but the point I’m trying to make is that there is more than enough content here, if you look for it.

    Another commentator points out ComMuNisT propaganda; I don’t find it that bad. there’s a couple communities that are tankies, or definitely hard left. There’s also a lot of middle ground. I do find Lemmy more left leaning than Reddit, and much less likely to tolerate people with nationalistic views, but, as with all things internet, vote with your feet. Don’t like it, then leave.

    Overall, Lemmy is a lot more chill and I encounter a lot less persnickety users on here.
