Was originally thinking of posting Lenmy content on Reddit to less directly advertise Lemmy, but in the communities I follow, its almost exclusively content or already posted to, or directly originating from Reddit. This got me wondering if there were any niches that Lemmy serves better than other, larger platforms.
There’s a much higher ratio of real humans to bots in most Lemmy communities.
For technology, sexuality, and socio-politico-economic discussion it’s as if Lemmy “stole” the users most the most developed perspectives.
However, all the problems are still present. Users still perpetually struggle to discern their right from left. And, there’s certainly at least a few mainstream mods that’ve their self-worth entirely contingent upon others agreeing with them.
