In general I've found Lemmy to be closer to the feel of old forums in interactions. Arguments and petty squabbles are still entirely possible, but it doesn't feel like every interaction is about to become one. It's what pushed me to stop using Reddit - everything seems to end up as a fight for the slightest reason. Whilst I'm plenty abrasive as a person, it felt like Reddit got worse over the last 5 - 10 years.
They might have a bigger userbase now than when I joined but it's not ended up being worth it, I feel.
I like Lemmy’s feel. It feels much more of a community because of small size. It’s easier to catch up, like there’s not as much of a FOMO because you maybe get 1-2 new things every hour instead of having 400 posts shoved down your throat after refreshing. At least that’s how I feel
