The fact that it's mostly like Reddit and people mostly act like redditors.

There's not really a way around it though.

Happy cake day!

And for the parts that don't function like Reddit, it is worse.

I mean, ignoring the whole federation/syndication/self hostability/freedom/raison d'etre parts, yeah.

You could argue it was the whole point. The rest of fediverse is significantly different, and you can still interact with lemmy from there.

Don't know why you are down voted. I didn't leave reddit because I disliked the platform, I left because I disliked the leadership. Lemmy is an attempt at creating a similar platform.

I don't mean in terms of how the platform operates, I mean the people.
