    I wonder if all the bot activity on reddit makes it look so busy that people are confused when they come somewhere with far fewer bots around?

    I notice significantly more positive interaction with (at least what I believe to be) real humans here than I did on reddit in my last couple of years there.

      People always talk about wanting to grow Lemmy, but honestly I like it a lot more the way it is. You can comment on a post that’s been on All for 6 hours and still get plenty of thoughtful responses. On reddit, there was so much noise - especially on major threads - that commenting was like pissing into the wind.
