I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

Welcome! There are hot topics (I've noticed politics and inflation being spicy), but by and large great experience.

The smaller communities might be small, but they surprisingly don't lack in engagement IME. Basically everyone is new so when a community has 10 members, those 10 members have probably been online this week checking their feeds and messages.

Thank you, you make me hopeful! I won't lie, reddit is starring to affect my mental well being and I am not sure I am fully out of it. I have uninstalled the app so far and staying away from it, what I want is reading news and good conversations if they happen and less negativity as possible. Have you noticed an improvement in your relation with social media here?

It's smaller than the others, so that may be a big part of why, but @politics on kbin.social is so far very polite.
