I am myself a newcomer, did a full switch straight from reddit.

However, I did it just a few weeks before mods and admins started to crack down hard on certain opinions. Guess I had seen the sign on the wall.

I believe reddit’s clear change of direction has pushed many more people into the lemmyverse, many of them just like me, straight from reddit.

I sense that recently the tone around many subs has shifted towards more agressive and more divisive, and other patterns I recognize all too well from my years on reddit.

Do other people sense this too? Am I on the right track or completely off?

    you have to scroll so much further down a thread before the good info is found.

    I feel Lemmy’s algorithm does a nice job of pushing newer comments to the top, but of course one needs to search longer for the good stuff the more comments there are.

    in other words: welcome redditors, pls leave the reddit bs at the door on your way in.

    Somebody else here commented that they will adapt. I like that, I hope it’s true, and possibly my biggest takeaway from this post because it is something we can all actively contribute to.
