Been on Lemmy since the App/API ban. Haven't looked back at reddit since, other than the occasional search result pointing to someone's q&a.
Side note, anyone else tired of all the sanitized AI slop that pervades search results? The only websites worth visiting these days are user forums (incl. reddit/Lemmy) and wikipedia.
The AI slop isn't the issue. AI could be a blessing. It's the corpos that are ruining it, like they are ruining everything else

If your experience is like mine when I ditched reddit, it’ll take a few months for the learned defensiveness and self-editing to wear off. People seem more mature here (except for our sense of humor) and I’ve found less trolling and sealioning.
The interface quality is down, but the quality of content is way, way up. It more than makes up the difference.
More mature? Bro, we're all reditors. It's the same fucking crowd.
It's really hard for openly reactionary communities to get a hold here, because rather than being given free reign by fiat, they get defedded. The reactionaries are definitely here, and lemmy.world among other open instsnces are a bit of a haven for them, but even lemmy.world has to make concessions to the fact that if they become too much of a shithole then the other instances will make alternatives and render them irrelevant.
It turns out that without a big daddy institution to shelter them, reactionaries don't thrive, their communities can't metastisise, and they are super unpopular. That's the big difference.

It feels like we are more the early adopter tech savvy redditors though. As user ~2000 of Reddit, Lemmy feels very much like Reddit did prior to the Digg migration (after which things seemed to dumb down considerably).

Yeah but only people who didn’t find what they were looking for in reddit are here. Which is essentially a good thing haha
Just calling it like I see it. I’m sure everyone’s experience is different.
I’d say people are very defensive and aggressive still but the filters and blocking helps me a lot. Though I’ve been sassy I do want to try to make a better nicer place

Welcome!
You'll find that the volume here is much (much much MUCH!!!) lower than reddit. As frustrating as this can be, the only solution is to stand and create more content. More worthwhile posts, more comments, more interaction. At its height, that was exactly what made reddit successful.

FYI - the admin of the instance you signed up for also censored similar posts
Was it the admin of the instance or an individual mod? I'm still trying to figure out the policies of each instance versus its communities. I mod a few communities on .world and have never had any admin come in and do anything there.
I'm not sure it's good to condemn all of .world if it's just a few mods doing this, especially since .ml is one of the main alternatives and thousands of times worse, removing anything remotely critical of China or Russia.
I got banned for ‚racism‘ in some community when I said China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs. I also say Russia is doing it against Ukrainians and Israel against Palestinians, but it doesn’t matter. I thought .ml can’t be as bad as everyone says because I’m not exactly in the liberal camp but I had to learn that they are really bad…
I'm not a liberal either, but ml and hexbear are tankie shitholes, 100%
Yeah it took me a few months to realize the extent of the problem too. I was getting modded for suggesting that Ukrainians should fight back against Russians.
I don't participate in any .ml communities any more and I block the ones who leak out into others. It's a real pity that so much of Lemmy is ruined by tankies.

I joined a few weeks after the Reddit API was made paid, but I left Reddit the day it happened. Better late than never, I guess. Welcome to Lemmy.
If you wanna delete your Reddit account, make sure you use PowerDeleteSuite to get rid of all of your posts and comments before clicking that delete button on your account. Not doing so will keep your contributions to the website live.
dont forget to checkout mbin. its slightly less fugly than lemmy with access to all the same content/functionality and more.
That's quite the url
Welcome. Here's some stuff:
All that and no beans?
Are you lemminging, son?
Nope. I'm dissociating!
Only issue you might find with signing up for world is you can't get db0's piracy communities. I've been too lazy to switch since coming from kbin though myself.
Plenty visible from sh

Check out the booty (no not that booty, treasure!)
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (blocked by lemmy.world instance)
But also check out the booty
Just post stuff. There's less people here - but that also means you can make a big difference in the quality of the community
Welcome!
You may already have it handled but just in case here's a post with some resources to help you find communities and migrate from reddit. I hope you find Lemmy more to your liking!

I'm here for the same reasons. I'm still figuring it out. So far so good though.
Agreed and welcome! Be prepared to engage in or create a new space for the communities you care about. Things feel like they're just getting started here, but that's ok. Good luck and have fun!
Welcome to Lemmy/The Fediverse! If you don't like Lemmy, there's also Mbin instances. They're both good but I like Mbin's interface a little more.
Don't forget, there are also a ton of good mobile apps for Lemmy. I like Connect but there are a lot of good ones.
