I have not had that experience. Reddit has more users than Lemmy, sure, but I went on Reddit literally yesterday and most of the content was trash. Lemmy has some trash, but a lot less than Reddit. A much bigger ratio of good:bad on Lemmy than Reddit has been my experience.
There’s a closer knit community than Reddit due to the smaller size, and advertisements and paid agenda posts are few and far between. We have momentum and lot of potential- as long as Reddit keeps up the downward spiral, people will join lemmy and tell others about it. If you want to increase activity on lemmy, it starts with you! Remember to upvote and comment, and post something you found that was interesting, even if it’s to a community you don’t usually post to.

That’s what I noticed when I first gave Lemmy a try: significantly fewer users, but higher quality content overall.

Anything vaguely allowed near the front page is instagibbed by propagandbots, spambots, and users so stupid they can’t be readily discerned from same.
Stick to subject-specific subs and it’s not that bad.
