I've already been enjoying posting to Lemmy/etc much more than I ever did Reddit.
Reddit always felt so set-in-stone and unchanging to the point that it made me feel like I arrived "late" to the party even though my first Reddit account was in I think 2015. Once somebody claimed a subreddit with an easy-to-remember name that was largely it, and if you disagreed with their moderating style you had to suck it up or make your own with a more obtuse name.
With Lemmy since everything's decentralized it feels much more... I guess open? If someone makes a
!gamedevcommunity that has iffy moderation issues or whatnot, I or someone else can also make a!gamedevcomm on another instance without it being a problem at all.Or with a bit of tech know-how and a few bucks, you can start your own instance, with blackjack and gamedev.
In fact, forget the blackjack.
I honestly almost started my own instance a while back, I was looking at kbin and the far more obscure lotide. I opted not to though because I already run an Akkoma instance and I don't wanna take on the load of having to maintain and moderate more fedi instances lol
