Yeah, lemmy has become really good lately. It’s generally better than Reddit these days. I tried it a year ago and it was still quiet here, now I see posts with 2000+ upvotes
I’m so glad to hear other people with the same opinion! Everywhere I go I see people complaining about the negativity and toxicity here and I’m like… Where? I’ve had nothing but positive interactions. I’m really happy reddit went through the API fiasco because I’m having a better time here than in late stage reddit.
Individual instances and frontends might have something to do with it. People saying they see a ton of NSFW and have to block so many communities, but at sh.itjust.works on Voyager I haven’t seen any of that.
It’s simultaneously open yet curated at the same time and that’s pretty neat!
A lot of the times it’s just people with bad opinions that are mad that they keep getting downvoted. I’ve seen so many zionist accounts comment under these “lemmy is bad” posts. Even in disagreements the comments are most of the time informative and constructive here.
I agree, I only came here in July after they finally followed through with pulling the plug on 3rd party apps. This place has grown a lot in 1 year. Still needs more communities for the smaller hobbies, plus less memes and political content, and it would be perfect. 99% of everyone I talk with here is super nice and helpful as well.

It’s not any more toxic than Reddit honestly.
It’s very easy to filter by blocking out certain instances

As if Reddit was free of toxic interactions lol
The existence of /r/Jailbait, /r/GreatApes, and /r/[N-slur] testify to this.

If we can’t meme, I don’t want to be part of the revolution.
~(that’s a joke, based on something emma goldman kind of said)~
Gotta really hand it to the Lemmy devs, third party devs and server maintainers.
