Yesterday I got into a "funny image" post showing someone who couldn't use the correct date format online and quickly found a comment, with tailors, about the most efficient way of searching through a date-time format. I stopped and just thought that was the most "Reddit"moment I've had so far here and it felt nice

It's the type of crowd that self hosting brings. We're very much more Lemmings than Redditors by trade, so it does make sense the community here is better.

That, and fuck reddit.

Self-hosters are probably the type of people who are interested in getting away from "big tech" corporate solutions for everything, so it makes sense that they would prefer Fediverse versions

One reason could be that the audience on lemmy has a left-ish bias and there's a political component to the Spotify exodus.

Edit: don't get me wrong, I love seeing content and engagement on here.
