Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

I've seen admins asking for more fine-grained moderation tools. Maybe eventually things will work the way you're hoping. Here's a quote from a Beehaw admin,

an unfortunate reality we’ve also found is we just don’t have the tools or the time here to parse out all the good from all the bad. all we have is a nuke and some pretty rudimentary mod powers that don’t scale well.

Defederating prevents trolls on another instance from coming into comments in local communities to harass people. From an admin/mod perspective you have to take some kind of action to stop that.
