Yeah for a while Lemmy kinda felt like we-have-Reddit-at-home but nowadays I’m reminded of how it felt in Reddit’s early days (ie: less exhausting), but older and wiser.
The circlejerkiness of downvoting has increased since I was first on here, when people were more likely to respond with conversation than just a downvote of disdain (or my fave, people who downvote each reply in a conversation as they reply back). But there’s less random downvotes of disapproval than reddit. Esp. on kbin which doesn’t federate downvotes from other instances, ha.
I often find that if I’m having an issue or want general answers about something, I still stick “reddit” at the end of the search, but I never just open it to browse niche subs even though I am missing the equivalent here.
I’m so glad the Trek communities moved here from reddit. Whenever I go back there it just feels empty somehow, in spite of the still much larger userbase.
You can feel the consistency of the current userbase, especially in the more active communities. I’m glad to see it.
It’s been awesome watching things grow, and seeing the community develop its own personality, beans and all

Not getting downvoted for unknown reasons feels good here at Lemmy.

If you still care about downvotes at all, you’re not internetting right. Complaining about downvotes gets an automatic downvote from me, dawg.
Misunderstanding a comment, taking the time to comment and downvoting. Yup, starting to feel like Reddit.

The only thing that sucks that some of the smaller subs don’t really have them active user base over here, so I’m still forced to use Reddit for those

Someone just had to mention that Federation was involved, and that’s all it took.
