No. Most large Reddit communities are toxic, both on the user and mod end. Let Lemmy grow at its own pace without repeating the same mistakes Reddit made.
This is the best take. I'd rather organic growth, here people come here for actual content, than just shove a bunch of redditors over and repost reddit content
In some communities they’re already doing exactly that.
Right now lemmy feels more toxic to me than reddit in many ways. I've never been on a reddit news thread where people were openly trolling and posting pictures of pig shit in response to comments they don't like.
Those get autodeleted, or are on instances that are explicitly been defederated across most instances outside of lemmy.ml
Trolls and other idiots are part of humanity and its perfectly natural for lemmy to have its share. Reddit does as well. But taking one sub as a basis to say that lemmy seems more toxic than reddit sounds very far fetched.
