To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

I love the fediverse and especially the threadiverse. I'm okay with Lemmy specifically, but I prefer Kbin, and am looking forward to some entirely different option.

It's not as notable as it was in May or June, before the main Reddit exodus, but it still feels sort of like the early days of the internet here. People have to kind of go out of their way to be here, and the system's a bit wonky and obtuse, so there's a pleasant lack of lazy idiots. And I can actually interact with people who actually have things to say, rather than just wading through regurgitated memes and botspam.

I like how many of the users don't resort to memes or namecalling (not that there aren't a few here and there) and the replies are straightforward

Personally, I find the people here very elitist and unwelcoming, and I have found myself spending less and less time here because of it.

Interesting, really? Maybe I just don’t engage with people that much, but it seems pretty chill or at least definitely no worse than Reddit in that regard

It definitely depends on the community. I'm mostly noticing it in the meme communities. A high percentage of jokes in the memes that I see are at the expense of a group that I am a part of, and I guess I just don't really relate to the people here. So I just don't come back very often.

That could explain the difference in experiences. I filter out those communities as best I can given the tools available.
