It feels a lot more like Reddit used to be, back in the old days. It feels less like social media and more like actual people are here.

This. While yeah at times it certainly feels a bit empty, Lemmy feels like old Reddit or maybe even the days of Forums before. Interesting, engaged discussions, rather than vapid one-liners that reddit ultimately became.

Yeah and it even hits that wierd hardcore nerd vibe that reddit used to where it was like 50% programmers and IT people and you'd see computer geek in-jokes everywhere
