Yup.
Reddit is so big 95% of your comments get buried with no replies. There's no conversation most of the time. You're just reading the conversations of others who got in on the post really early and got upvoted to the top.
I'm also of the opinion that the average IQ on Lemmy is notably higher than the average IQ on Reddit, so the discussions tend to be less clownish.
This is the opinion of someone that finally got tired of Reddit and jumped to Lemmy just over a month ago. I also feel like I'm seeing more activity on Lemmy just over the last few weeks. So there's probably others like me that just got fed up and made the switch.
I'm kind of crossing my fingers that Lemmy doesn't get too popular. It'll ruin this like it ruins every social media site.
Reddit has a follow bias. Lemmy has a rebel bias. IQ tests aside, I know where I'd rather be.
