I find it more neckbeard than Reddit, and I mean that in the most offensive way. Reddit was big enough that there were lots of places they either didn’t participate or were so rare as to not be annoying. They’re everywhere here on the big, fully federated servers.
By the same token, the semi-federated, more restrictive instances (yes, I mean beehaw) are actually quite nice places and really does feel like a mature place to casually discuss things.
In general, though, lemmy is a desert or ghost town of vibrant niche, non-IT focused communities with regular participation.
Why do you even come here, Papaya. Nobody likes you.
