Well welcome aboard! Lemmy is a great substitution once you learn to cope with the fact that there is less content generally, but it is a much better community. Of course that depends on the instance you choose but you can always just silence the ones you don’t want. I came here back during the api fiasco and I’ve never looked back. I can’t even imagine using Reddit now. My wife still scrolls on it and it’s so cringe, all bots and the same tired inside jokes. I like it here much better. We still get dumb jokes but it isn’t nearly as bad as Reddit.
