There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.
Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

On the topic of byzantine rules, I’d found out at sometime last year that a major subreddit had banned linking other subreddits…
In the 6 years I was there I thought that’s what Reddit was all about, but what do I know?
The Fediverse is perfectly set up for linking people to new communities they might not have come across on their own.
Trying to figure out which rule I broke on Reddit and when it was implemented from moderators was a pain. In contrast, Lemmy mods have messaged me when they want me to edit my comment to conform better to the rules which was great. Lemmy public modlogs are also a huge improvement since while it can’t stop tyrant mods/admins, it makes knowing how you crossed them much clearer for people.
I used to get shadowbanned all the time because I often posted lots of on topic links. I think it’s automated.
