I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
The fact Lemmy is decentralised and federated will prevent most of these kind of shananigans from happening. Also the connection to the FediVerse helps a lot, more eyes on the moderators to keep their rules and values. Also tons and tons of hope.
