I am a lot more active. On Reddit I was mostly just a lurker. On Lemmy I want to comment and post.
Following on from 1. It feels more like a community here, on Reddit after a post had a certain number of comments/upvotes, I knew that mine would never be seen. I don’t have that feeling on Lemmy.

Posts federate to other instances - even off Lemmy - at different speeds. Those of us on Pleroma/Mastodon who browse TWKN will just see random posts from wherever, and how popular the post is ends up being irrelevant.
Enjoy your first tiny taste of what the internet is like out there lemmybro.
I feel the same, but one big thing I miss from reddit are the more niche hobby communities. Back when I spent time on reddit I’d interact more with those kinds of communities because they were smaller and I actually had some good information to give to other people with the same interest. In lemmy getting those kinds of communities is practically impossible, there is not enough people here to make more niche stuff more than a few individuals, and thats not enough to maintain a community alive.
Completely agree! For myself, I really miss the film/videography subreddits. There are two or three here but there’s only a handful of people and they seem dead.
I’ve noticed two things.
I’m glad you are here and having a great time participating in the Fediverse!
