Lemmy is pretty great compared to reddit in that you’ll get a lot more moderate, reasonable, and nuanced takes. I notice that there’s a lot of times when I’m clearly joking and people either explain my joke back to me or, you know, not realize and try to bicker. Slight irony deficiency you might say, but even those are still good people. Just a little severe.

Other than that, it’s pretty great once you’ve blocked enough of the accounts with more intense agendas. They’re not hard to spot, and I like to leave a few unblocked just for kicks.

Lots of Linux and LGBTQ+ folks in the fediverse, so if that’s not your bag you might find the content slightly sparse. The solution there is just to post more. I like the mix of things around here for the most part, and browsing All is pretty good once you’ve blocked anything you can’t stand.
