No karma (on Kbin it's hidden inside the profile page, so same deal), healthier interactions, mods seem to have less tolerance to bullshit, and smaller userbase on instances in comparison with Reddit's huge userbase. It's a win-win.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Already posted several comments. In my 10 years of reddit, I posted perhaps 10 times. So im way above my average on lemmy until now. I try to be more active to attract more lemmings.
I’ve always been a comment contributor. I just do it here instead of that old alien site. Also wiped my stuff over there.
Smaller communities, more intimate experiences, and overall, the people you'd see here are most likely who won't accept or allow what Reddit now stands for.
The opposite way for me.
Yep, this site has really chill vibes and it encourages posting
I haven't been, unfortunately. I joined around a week ago and this is my first comment. It seems I'm just as much of a lurker here as I was on Reddit. I suppose this is as good a time as any to change that and try to become more active.
For sure not just you. I noticed my first day too - especially on SDF, which is a much smaller instance. Somehow it feels more like being at a small party compared to being on a crowded subway.
this place is just way nicer than reddit, don't see as many arguments over nothing here
Yeah I started posting here too
Somewhat because I’m hoping to help build the community we want!
I got banned for ‘ban evading’, so I’m glad to post again.
I had 2 accounts (one for school/comp Sci, one for everything else) I insulted a mod in a larger sub and got banned on account A. Forgot I was banned from it and commented on the sub it with account B. This was around winter/spring when they were testing new ban tools and got full ban on current/new accounts I make so I’ve been loving Lemmy so far.

Posting links or content? Not so much but I’ve definitely commented a lot more.
I'm doing my part!
I literally haven't posted anything on reddit since the blackout. All of my posting has been in the fediverse...
Definitely true at the moment as I'm trying to understand how this all works and where I want to be within it! I'll have to see if I go back to my lurking ways after the curiosity has died down, but so far I kinda like being able to pick communities not just for what they have, but also what the vibes are. I always hated negative stuff in r/gaming and other game subreddits, but I loved r/lowsodiumcyberpunk. I think beehaws gaming community seems so cool because of their emphasis on be(e)ing nice.
Yes. I want to contribute to Lenny’s success if I can 😀
I'm going to make an active effort to post stuff here, I used to just be a commenter on Reddit, time to branch out and try interacting with this place more. Should be fun.
I'm hoping to get more active as the platforms stabalize and I learn how everything works.
I'm pretty confident that things are going to take off soon! Loving the conversion on this platform so far, also enjoying the randomness.
It will be nice to have some more definition and focus for some topics (this is also probably me just being a noob at this) but I'm not really in a rush to get there as the information is available elsewhere, but the current atmosphere with Lemmy feels very unique and special
Gotta involve more :D make this place what reddit could never become.
Absolutely, this feels less intimidating in a way. I've probably commented more here at the fediverse over the last few weeks then my whole time at Reddit
