Honestly, I also try to be more active as a user in Lemmy, and it feels way more rewarding because it feels like a more tight-knitly community here. Like it a lot!
It checks all the boxes for me. No bots, no spam, mostly coherent adults, feels just like using reddit.
I hate to sound all hipster, but a super big community does typically end up ruining themselves. It's nothing against the fandom itself or even the majority of people in it, it's just that eventually more toxic people will be included as popularity increases.
That was my biggest gripe nearing the end of reddit and how all subs past 250k subs felt like they either became /r/pics, /r/videos, or /r/funny
i really like it without the bots. what worries me is that with influx of users eventually bots will arrive. but hopefully without karma system atleast karmafarming bots won't materialise
Let’s hope
The breadth and depth of comments is what I've missed most from the past. Really happy to see these posts in the 1000s of upvotes with 100s of comments. I'll try to do my part.
I also find it refreshing to see, what I assume is, the actual amount of votes on posts and comments again. Makes it more human maybe instead of an arbitrary number
Same here.
