- Personal insults.
- The attitude that upvotes and downvotes define right and wrong more than actual reasoning does.
- People thinking they can extrapolate your whole worldview, background and value as a human being from a comment.
- Absolutism and binary thinking, where only two opinions are possible: the Right one and the extreme opposite Wrong one, and questioning ANY aspect of the Right one implies wholehearted support for the Wrong one.
But tbh I don’t really miss any of those things, cuz they’re all here on lemmy too.
I’m gonna downvite youre comment you reddit libtard. /s
r/AskHistorians
The extra-specific ask communities where great! Ask science fiction was one of my favorites
The hyperspecific interests mainly. The wealth of obscure info too.
A less specific demographic, which is a little ironic when referring to reddit. But lemmy is even more a subset of a subset of a subset of people than reddit is, and it gets a bit old at times.
Politics everywhere, and most of it is just circlejerking over something trump is doing and everyone agreeing how terrible he / his supporters / his handlers / the broligarchs are. There isnt much discourse to be had when everyone on here already agrees, and I don’t mean I miss right wing voices. Just that I dont need to talk about politics with people who think virtually exactly the same as me about these things. And I’m also not an american.
Then there is an annoying flood of trans content, which is great that it has its place here, but for the most part doesn’t interest me beyond a general sentiment of support for people to live their life how they wish. I want more diversity in my feed.
Not in necessarily in opinions but in topics

Yes. There’s little or no novelty here. I’m not surprised by something new or interesting. I get a lot of nostalgia hits because we’ve all experienced similar things.
Interaction on posts that have been up for more than 8 hours
I find that most posts will get a few comments at least.
Yes, but the drop off in replies to new comments is early and sudden.
The New Comments sort helps with that
I miss… the idea of it.
I still browse and almost caught myself commenting recently. I quickly backspaced and exited out and came over here where I feel safe posting comments and interacting.
its too easy to gett banned there now, even a simple comment removal will trigger a shadown ban in many cases, plus a VPN would result in a ban eventually.
The breadth of the content
Diversity. People on R were less uniform.
Maybe because they were more.
When there was only one allowed opinion in a sub, then you could often find another sub with the same topics allowed, but the only one allowed opinion was another one.
now it bans you for any opinion as of recently, but more heaivly geared if your criticizing musk, or the right, because musk had complained to spez on 2 occasions to start a purge of accounts.
Reddit started out very similar to the current lemmy/fediverse audience. The nerds go first and eventually everyone else follows.
The “When does the narwhal bacon” crowd was not diverse at all
r/electricians mostly
I’m an industrial electrician and I don’t know a single soul in my life outside of my career who I can shoot the shit about electrical systems. Sometimes I just want to nerd out about it, or discuss UL and NEC codes, or sometimes just removed about old crap from decades ago you have to work on haha
I was pretty active there, too! I had a long post about the differences between grounding and bonding that was stickied to the sidebar for a while. I think it’s still there…
Oh man welcome to my daily hell about this topic haha. We build, install, repair systems for the largest steel mills in the country. Think 100 foot long lineups all bussed together, all 100% custom. Some of them easily 6k to 12k amps.
Painted surfaces can really sneak up on you, and we’ve changed how we bond panels like three times since I’ve been here for a couple years (worked on this type of equipment for about 10 tho). We used to not bond the sub to our common gnd bus on the floor, thinking the studs to the cabinet frame was enough. But with shielded cable, it needs a direct path to gnd on shield and gnd in one spot and for all shields to be tied together.
If you wanna get into a really heady topic, see what happens when you put a piece of strut or gnd wire or another power wire in between parallel runs of power wire per phase on a three-phase AC system

I did a tenant fit-out in a new building where the base-building was still under construction by a different electrical contractor when we started our buildout. The building had a penthouse switchboard that was fed with 5 parallel sets. Except the other EC pulled it as 1 phase per conduit. So they had 1 conduit with 5x a-phase conductors. Another with 5x b-phase, etc. Even 1 conduit with just 5x EGCs.
I noticed it because we had to pull a new feed into their switchboard right before permanent power got turned on to the building. This was literally the day before the utility was supposed to turn on power, They were this close to turning on a 2000A feeder with a single phase per conduit. And it was all metal conduit. They’d have burned that whole damn building down.
I told them they did it wrong and were going to start a fire. They didn’t believe me at first, so I had to escalate it to my GC’s safety coordinator, who had to bring it to their safety coordinator. They refused to call the utility to cancel turning on permanent power, so my safety guy and I had to intercept the utility guys when they showed up on site to tell them not to turn on power. Man was that other EC’s foreman PISSED, but he eventually did have to pull it all out and repull it correctly.
or sometimes just removed about old crap from decades ago you have to work on haha
dot ml strikes again
What did they censor? The b word?
And here, I thought maybe it was a joke about all the stuff people deleted during the API drama, or maybe a joke about all the stuff getting removed in recent times, but nope, just good old ml censorship.
The censor specific words in comments rather than just deleting a whole comment? That’s some shit.
Active communities that aren’t about Linux
Hey now. Trek communities are live and well
Active communities, period.
Reddit started out without subreddits. Eventually grew too big for that so split into topical channels. Then the channel would get too big and a niche would subdivide out. When Lemmy started, our more so when there was the first but exodus from Reddit, all of that was recreated, but with the users. So we have a ton of dead communities that really need to be rolled up and cleaned up.
That happens regularly on !fedigrow@lemm.ee

Getting banned with 100s of my fake account.
Posting my depraved “performance art” and interacting with my fans in the comments
My woman trolling each other back and forth
A few regulars from Askredditafterdark
r/notinteresting being everything but not interesting
r/countablepixels was pretty interesting too but it looks like all the drama has died out :/
Active posts that aren’t about linux or politics.
Hey now, we also have programming and meta-fediverse discussions as well /s
Lemmy is actually getting better. It’s like Reddit when it was just starting.
