I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Perhaps for lemmy, the Orca Toasts at Noon.
But yeah, lemmy actually feels like a community. I haven't seen too much of a "thread consensus" effect, where any differing views get buried with downvotes for not agreeing. The only mass downvoted comments I've seen so far were blatant racism/sexism/homophobia/other noncivil comments, and LITERAL shitposts.
TLDR: Lemmy circlejerks way less, but allows uncensored gifs of people pooping in comments
