I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Im too new to tell if Lemmy is more left or right leaning or somewhere in the middle. But Reddit is extreme left wing, you can’t even make a (bad) joke without getting banned.
Depending on the instances you look at, reddit is center right compared to lemmy. Lemmy is full of socialists and communists gasp
Well as I mentioned somewhere before, I’m still new here, but it’s seems fairly normal to me so far. On Reddit I’ve been temporarily or permanently banned from Subreddits like for the silliest things, when a mod doesn’t like you, there is no point. They will call you names and whatnot, doesn’t matter, appeal process? Doesn’t seem to exist.
Now how this works on Lemmy is still an unknown to me, though I do think Lemmy is too “complex” for the average internet user and so won’t be able to gain a similar “succes” in terms of userbase and ease of use.
