I've been really enjoying my time here lately and I have noticed things.
-
discussions are more chill. On Reddit people would get into flame wars over things and here while it happens it's not as bad, and I actually enjoy spending time here.
-
people are nicer.
-
moderation is amazing.
-
diversity in thoughts is also amazing.

I don't know, it's been difficult to access a lot of information without reddit, especially when reddit makes up half my google results. I hope people start using the fediverse to share information, but we'll have to see if it catches on.
I also read somewhere that kbin/lemmy etc are not indexed in search engines.
They are. For example. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Akbin.social+news
That's true for some Fediverse platforms (Mastodon for instance opts users out of search engine indexing by default, though they can opt in if they wish), but doesn't seem to be the case with Lemmy.
