I found Lemmy to be better for my mental health. I recently visited Reddit again to follow on a heated topic since Reddit has more info and news, and found my anxiety levels skyrocket due to the toxicity of comments.
While Lemmy has less engagement than Reddit, that also leads to a more level-headed community.
That, and with new Lemmy apps and experiences being developed constantly, I'm liking it here a lot.
