I had joined Reddit twice in my lifetime but was not actively using it, and maybe that’s the reason I’m not very familiar with this forum culture.

I would say that Lemmy is by far the most responsive SNS in terms of the community engagement that I’ve ever used.

    I think people are more encouraged to participated on lemmy than they are on reddit. I used to be able to make posts on a reddit community of 10s of thousands and never get a response. It almost never takes more than a few minutes here. Moreover, Reddit is spilling over with bots and has been for years and the responses you'd get to a post or comment are often obiously reflective of this.

      It takes a little more effort to make an account and even know that lemmy exists. That probably dissuaded a lot of casual creepers.

      It will never not be funny to me how .world, the largest instance, preemptively defederated with Hexbear the most content rich and antithesis of reddit instance on here despite everyone supposedly fleeing reddit because of how the corporate overlords had "ruined it" (it was always shit) and ours being one of the few instances dedicated to dunking on capitalism and understanding its malevolent machinations.
