For me this is the closest reddit alternative i know of. Sure lemmy isint as big as reddit and reddit has far more tech issues, But im new here so i cant really say much.

Do you prefer lemmy or reddit? are there any other social media i should try? please briefly explain your thoughts and ideals.

Lemmy by a mile. Questions asked here return helpful and helpfully funny responses. Reddit brings out the moronic hoards. That said, I use libreddit to browse some subs that aren't as big here. But only briefly and I always shower afterwards.

    I agree 100%. If I want help with something, people are generally kind and helpful on Lemmy. The worst that typically happens is no one responds.

    On Reddit, asking for help in a sub specifically created for these requests usually results in being downvoted heavily. I might get a response or even a few, but it's not uncommon to also get mocked and trolled unless my request is unusually interesting.

    I recall being in a tough spot in a previous relationship and asking for advice. I got some helpful advice but it also resulted in one user mocking me and encouraging suicide and another user attempting to dox me.
