Does it not? I'm not feeling much difference from an end user POV
Well it's a link aggregator and forum, just like reddit, but I feel like lemmy needs time for its own culture to coalesce - rather than expecting reddit culture to be imported or just exist here.
I hope it does coalesce into something good. I was so tired of the toxicity on Reddit from both regular users and the power-tripping mods. Yuck.
The good thing is that if an instance gets too toxic the users that don't like that can just jump to another one. The ideal would be to move your already existing account to the new instance but I don't how difficult or how much that would take to implement
Honestly its for the best, redditors would be rude af and incel-like as well. It was annoying to dealing with those people every time there was a talk of relationships and gender rather than thinking about those topics with empathy, respect, kindness and critically as well.
