Personally, While i appreciate the good moderation and have never had issues here. I have noticed that communities are a lot smaller when viewed from here?

Anyone else think here is a little too closed off?

I don't really mind. I created an alt on a larger lemmy instance a while back to subscribe to meme communities, and to be quite honest the comments are really bad, frequently as bad or worse than Reddit. I think Beehaw is just aiming for something different than other instances. Then again, I'm old enough to have been part of forums where the pace of discussions was much slower than most aggregator style sites are today so it doesn't really bother me.

I've done the same and feel the same way. I'm still active on Reddit because I want to be an active part of helping people who have questions. I don't feel the larger Lemmy community wants that so much as to complain about things. I certainly have things to complain about in life, but I don't feel it's healthy for me to engage with spaces that are going to cause more issues than they resolve.
