If we’re new users, where we are at now (Lemmy) is different than the sites we used to frequent in subtle but important ways.
I believe those differences are an important reason why Lemmy has cultivated such a vibrant and positive community up to this point.
I believe it is important that new users unfamiliar with the space allow Lemmy patience as issues caused by the recent influx are dealt with in a uniquely “Lemmy” way.
I believe it is this uniquely “Lemmy” way of solving problems that sets it apart from the “corporate” alternative.
