How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media?

For larger communities it’s great. For small communities it sucks. People need to let the mainstream ones grow before branching to these smaller communities.

Outside of that the community is incredibly lefty, I am pretty liberal too but it’s pretty wild how much it leans. There’s also a huge fascination to have everything be FOSS , Linux, and using Firefox . Ex the audacity of the Sync developer charging for an app was hilarious.
