Passion. The people here care enough to have not only left Reddit, but to have made a new community here.

MODERATORS
The fediverse is a great system for moderation. I've been on Mastodon for years now and it's stayed pretty pleasant.
Because it's run by the people for the people! :)
Not to pat ourselves on the back too much but right now itβs mainly the Reddit power users that are here. The normies are wondering why interesting as fuck was flooded with porn as of last night.

I have been a user on Mastodon for quite some time but wasn't that active and felt it lacked some content for me. Now that I joined lemmy I learned that mastodon is federated and I learned about kbin! That's what makes it refreshing for me. A lot of new stuff and small communities emerging :)

On reddit, half of the users are bots controlled by various corporations and state departments.
Fediverse denizens are really active.
I think there's many contributing factors. I actually was thinking about the same thing before I found your post, and the answer that came to mind outside of some of the ones people posted here was:
It feels like a breath of fresh air because we're outside the Walled Garden. We're not trapped on a platform who's soul has been crushed and wrung for every penny's worth like Reddit or Twitter. And we can see that there is a world on the Internet besides the Walled Garden and that fact is very liberating. It makes you feel like you don't have to go back.
I think the lack of a karma equivalent, and thus karma farming, results in much more thought out and unique posts/comments.

A lot of us have been nofapping reddit for a while so it's it a bit of a release to interact in this familiar way.

I'm a recent reddit semi-convert (haven't left Reddit entirely just yet) and I'm loving it so far
I've had more traction on my posts and comments in the month or so I've been on lemmy than the entire 14 years I was on reddit. I'm glad I've moved, couldn't give two shits how it does from here out, I'm away.
