I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

But the Fediverse will be different. For example, instead of having one giant Politics community, we have two: politics@lemmy.world and politics@lemmy.ml, each with its own moderation style that has to respect the rules of its instance.
I think that’s a lot healthier than having one giant Politics subreddit where it’s hard to get involved because of the size and the immaturity of the people.
Did you even use Reddit? It has more political communities than you could count. Just because there’s only one r/politics doesn’t mean that’s the only community you can choose from. Reddit has a lot of problems, but this is not one of them.
Still kinda is. Take r/Seattle as an example. A massive segment of that community could not stand the main mod, so they had to make r/SeaWa, which when compared to just hosting a new Seattle community on a different instance, it eliminates that issue where the more popular iteration appears less… official?
What’s less good is when you like two communities by the same name on different instances, so you have to keep checking which one you’re on, lol.
