I feel like it’s not dominated by the same sort of content, but a lot of smaller communities and niche interests (at least the ones I’m interested in) have yet to develop on lemmy.
Instance owners can have full control over who they federate with. From the start, the mainstream in the Fediverse has had a tolerant, open-minded and positive mindset. Over time instances that don’t follow this (e.g. by promoting hate speech) are defederated, leaving mostly decent discourse. Users that try to join instances that follows the Fediverse ethics while not belonging, and try to spread hate, get banned.
We’re still in early days but this will keep happening until the verse is wide and large, and you can choose your own little corner that aligns with what you want, whether that’s more like what we have today, or the opposite end of the spectrum, but for now we get to enjoy to still have mostly only tolerant instances, and the nasty ones are defederated into oblivion.
It started good, but then people realized that it is not reddit, so they moved back, failing to embrace the change.
I do not blame them, I miss the content and my 15k account, but I have removed it, so there is no going back for me.
Yep, I’m here for good too. Reddit will never get that magic back that it once had.
There is more variety of content here IMO. I like seeing more international posts even if i dont aleays understand the language or the context.
Back there it was all ragey clickbait bot karma removed.

I dunno this feels pretty reddit to me
This site feels like reddit from ~2010. IE back before all the monetization and add bullshit.
I’m amazed it doesn’t feel like 4chan in 2005. Like, how is it possible that it’s not full of spam and racism? I hope it stays that way.
Shhhh they’ll hear you.
Really though, defederation is the reason why.
Can you explain why that makes a difference?
