First time posting here — how does Lemmy feel compared to Reddit for you? (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone, I’m new here and just testing the waters. I’ve been on Reddit for years, but lately it feels like a mix of heavy-handed moderation and echo chambers where any dissenting opinion gets buried.

For those of you who’ve spent real time on Lemmy: • What do you like better here than on Reddit? • What do you miss from Reddit? • Do you feel the culture here is genuinely different, or does it eventually drift the same way?

I’m curious how people see it — especially those who made the switch after the API drama.

Yup. Lemmy is a bit more barren than reddit (at least when i was last on reddit), but the conversations you do have are genuine and not some lame joke.
