Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?

What are your thoughts on the Lemmy ecosystem?

I've been trying it out for the last week. I have my own opinions, but I'd like to hear others and see if we have common ideas on what is good/bad/indifferent about the Lemmy ecosystem.

Of course not. People discuss like three topics in here.

Its tiny compared to reddit so it has more of a monoculture. If it grows it might get more diverse

Linux, politics, and the occasional meme that doesn't fit in either of the other two categories.

I was thinking Linux, neurodivergence, and communism.

I don't see politics as much since I blocked many communities from lemmy.world, including politics, news, people twitter, and of course political memes. IMO "scaled", or "hot" sorting should be default or something cause the "All" page was almost always American politics from these subs because of the high votes. Though not as much of a problem since the blocking so that's nice.
