Something I WONT miss from Reddit/other social medias (beehaw.org)

Like most other people here, I originally came here from reddit. Ive been having a blast so far, and I much prefer the forum-style of this. After about a week of using Lemmy I realized there was something intrinsic to reddit that Lemmy doesnt have. And I wont miss it. Too many people on reddit were way too horny. I was really annoying, but Lemmy seems way more chill. Plus its refreshing knowing that the people on here arent all bots.

Some of the subreddits could be great, but some could also be really mean and unwelcoming. So far it seems much more friendly here, and I hope that's not just the honeymoon period.

It is. The bad comes with the good. If we want more user migration then it’s only about time.

Part of that came from the same 3 questions being asked every 5 hours from new people. I'm not necessarily condoning or justifying it, but it did get rather annoying in r/Deadpool when every day there were 4 new posts saying "Hey, I'm new to Deadpool, what's a good place to start reading/catching up?" despite the first item on the sidebar and FAQ was where to start and the big bold letters on a new post screen was "READ THE FAQ".

Alternatively, I stayed away from other subs like 1911 because if it wasn't a Springfield, Colt, or $1400 custom job you got berated and told to "save more money"

Oh, yes, the gatekeeping in some subs! Let's try to avoid that as well.
