As a long time Reddit user, there's something about Lemmy and the fediverse that feels really refreshing and new. I think it has to do with a few things......
One key difference I found is the lack of user karma. You have no incentive to post something "just to get karma" because there is no global karma on your profile.
This encourages to post what you want to post instead of posting something that someone posted years ago because it's easy free karma
Personally, I prefer Lemmy over Kbin because I hate karma and reputation points. I do not want to worry about downvotes, and Lemmy feels so fresh. I can post things that will receive lots of downvotes and not need to worry about losing karma.
Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?
