  Yeah. A bit more diversity is what I miss.

  But going back to reddit doesnt feel the same anymore either. I dont know how but the people there have changed. They upvote less. They complain more. And doesnt join in on my crappy jokes. 😟

    See I get that but I also feel like Lemmy in some ways has more hostile discourse. Too many people with incredibly entrenched opinions about something incredibly niche who then proceed to shout down anyone who doesn’t partake in that niche.

    Like at least on Reddit the aggressive circlejerks tend to align with mainstream thought.

      You’re wrong and I don’t care what you have to say.

    I stayed off of Reddit near totally the first month or so and have been visiting it more again lately and there is a definite drop off in quality all over the place.

      Yeah, gotta admit to jumping back onto it a few times - purely because of the wealth of information. But I do have to agree with you that the quality of chat seems to be declining.

      Lemmy is definately a better quality place to be, but if people don’t post - only to a fraction of communities, it’s in danger of becoming too focused on just a few topics.

      What I don’t understand is: some niche communities started getting interest, then the interest waned - did people leave, did they go back to reddit (and why after leaving) or did they find a better place to go (if so where)?

      I’m sticking with lemmy for now - with fingers crossed!
