I’ve noticed that reblog spam, misleading titles, non relevant content, and low effort content are all far more prevalent on Lemmy than I would usually in Reddit.
Personally I think it’s due to the different communities generally having far more lax rules than their Reddit counterparts, resulting in being lower quality.
Having had both kinds of animals of pets multiple times, it isn’t any easier unless you simply just don’t interact with the animal and thus don’t have a connection with it.
