How do you feel about the massive influx of users?

      Well it’s a link aggregator and forum, just like reddit, but I feel like lemmy needs time for its own culture to coalesce - rather than expecting reddit culture to be imported or just exist here.

        Honestly its for the best, redditors would be rude af and incel-like as well. It was annoying to dealing with those people every time there was a talk of relationships and gender rather than thinking also approaching about those topics with empathy, respect, kindness and critically as well. I’d like to think of this as a new start where all of us can learn from the mistakes that were made in Reddit and make this a better place for everyone.

        I hope it does coalesce into something good. I was so tired of the toxicity on Reddit from both regular users and the power-tripping mods. Yuck.

          The good thing is that if an instance gets too toxic the users that don’t like that can just jump to another one. The ideal would be to move your already existing account to the new instance but I don’t how difficult or how much that would take to implement
