I think as it grows, we'll see more and more of the same crowd, but the structure of Lemmy will help the culture feel different.
Nobody can own Lemmy, by design. (Even the creators just have the .ml instance)
No ads, and no corporate pressures to be advertiser friendly.
No weird profit-driven decisions.
Well, an instance could decide they wanted to try to make money, but I think everyone would just bail on them. People are more than happy to help out servers with donations, no need to make it a business venture.
I don't think so. There are very few communities that actually successfully fully left reddit. A good number of them splintered across circlejerkers on multiple lemmy instances with the users remaining on reddit asking "what's a lemmy" and staying put. The vast majority never left reddit at all, and don't give a fuck that reddit is trying to build a business.
Where the lemmy hivemind fails is that a bunch of us are reddit refugees that lost our favorite mobile apps, so you get a bunch of delusional people here thinking that reddit is dead and lemmy is the best thing ever. It's not. Lemmy has a lot of the same problems reddit had, and we're just repeating history. Wait until you need to squash extremism, prevent illegal content, and people maintaining the main instance (don't kid yourself, it's lemmy.world) need to eat.
Most of reddit's content is user generated to some extent. If there's bad content, it's because of people. Most of lemmy's content is user generated. Same cause same consequence.
If we want to delve into what could be different… moderation. Made by people (aside from very far-reaching illegal stuff, on both platforms).
Conclusion: the problem is people, not reddit nor lemmy.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

It feels like half the global feed is bot posts.
I never really found it that different. Just less populated.
Same format. Similar groups. Similar users (though mostly the sane ones, but I attribute this more to the less populated part more than anything). Similar if not the exact same content.
less populated
This is the part I feel.
I don't know if it's the way they're sorted or the voting, but the comments sections are well less mind numbingly stupid. People at least make logical arguments and have a point generally. Not a whole bunch of recycled bullshit. On Reddit I could guess with about a 75% certainty what the top comment was going to be before I even opened it.

Usually 14 posts of puns or people quoting Simpsons episodes at each other
Lemmy has just as many terminally online weirdos as reddit, except I've noticed there's a higher concentration of extremists. In my short time here, I've been threatened by someone to dox me and accuse me as a pedophile, and another person wishing death upon me because I disagreed with them about policing. Definitely still some weirdos here
the Reddit nightmare when someone tells you to go KYS over something as innocuous as a differing opinion on games…and so you report a KYS comment and then the Reddit admin simply send you the suicide hotline and dust off their hands. NAILED IT.
But then you say something like, "Fuck Nazi scum" and suddenly you're banned.
Was the pedophile accusation in the same thread in which you were claiming drag shows are too sexual for children? Was the disagreement about policing in the thread where you said rehabilitation doesn’t work and the only way to keep society safe is to lock up more people?
e1: the post wishing death on @cricket97@lemmy.world was in response to their multiple comments defending the dangerous actions of police that resulted in the death of a bystander made in a thread on !thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world, which has explicit rules against defending the police.
here's the post:
CW: descriptions of death
You’re a bootlicking asshole who worships cops. Your idea of justice is catch the “criminal” and damn anyone that gets in the way. Fuck you man. I hope you become some of that collateral damage one day. I hope your family gets to miss you because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time as some careless pig chased a stolen car straight into your driver’s side door.
and here's the thread in question in case anyone else wants to read it
Hahaha I knew they’d have shit takes, thanks for saving me time going to look.
I made the mistake of checking the inbox on my old Reddit account, and there was a new reply from a post I made a year ago. It was one giant paragraph with few punctuation marks and almost all lowercase. It started out with "you sound dumb", went on to say I need to accept Christ into my heart, and that the devil was using me as a tool and would spit me out when he's done with me.
What was it in reply to? I said a guy cited in the article was a crank, and not a real scientist, because he believed the moon was made of plasma.
Can't wait for the comment section to be spammed witht he same three reddit catchphrases
For your edification and posterity. This. What you just wrote. I totally agree. Like a chef serving a bowl of stew, you stuck your ladel into my brain and from my incoherent abstract thoughts were able to form the exact sentiment of what it is I was feeling. Down to a decimal of a decimal, more perfectly than I ever could have iterated, you captured the essence of every nuance I experienced relating to the subject matter. No words could portray the awe I felt knowing that somebody shared the exact same thought process as me. Not only that, but with the ability to articulate in such a refined manner the depth of said thought process. No words could describe that feeling. Except one. This.
At one hand, I like lemmy for being smaller and cozier, but on the other, the possibility of reddit becoming unprofitable due to lost users is so awesome to be missed.
COME ON REDDITORS, JOIN LEMMY AND LET REDDIT ROT!
ITT: "My problem with this platform where nobody is in charge is that it has more extremists than the platform where a for-profit corporation is in charge."
Oh god am i glad. The amount of tankies is insane. Can't wait for more middle and left leaning people to join.
Right like holy shit! I never even knew what the term tankie was till I came to Lemmy.
It's like some people here want Stalin back in power, but for the whole world.
Oh nice. We can finally got some non-tech, non-foss subs going.
I'm on arch btw
Don't worry, lemmy definitely beats Reddit in the socially maladjusted toxic asshole department.
The 1% of super awkward people. It's like 50% love and 50% borderline violent ideological debates.
I’m staying out of this debate, but you get an upvote for the Pink Panther. That was a priceless Steinway!
It's different in the ways that matter.
I haven't found furry smut here, yet.
You clearly haven't been looking very hard. I see it almost every day just sorting by new.
