Was originally thinking of posting Lenmy content on Reddit to less directly advertise Lemmy, but in the communities I follow, its almost exclusively content or already posted to, or directly originating from Reddit. This got me wondering if there were any niches that Lemmy serves better than other, larger platforms.

    More peace of mind.

    When I log into Lemmy and see a bunch of messages in my inbox I don’t have a moment of panic wondering if the replies are gonna be because the hive mind found my comment/post to be the best or the worst.

    Replies here are reasonable if not too earnest…

      Agreed. While there are a few ranty, hostile, irrational replies here, they are much fewer and farther between than on reddit. Not to mention the raiding and mod witch-hunts here are much milder. That shit got insane on reddit back in the day (I don’t know what it’s like now, since I abandoned reddit about 18 months ago).
