I came here after the recent post-Inauguration bloodbath, when they permabanned many of their veteran, high-volume posters like me (12 years, 900K+ karma).
Lemmy definitely feels more free, and i certainly dont miss the puns, trolls, bots, Russian Propaganda Farmers, novelty accounts, etc.
I really miss the guitar subs, though. Reddit's are active and fun, and a great place to interact, get advice, give advice, watch players post performances of their progress, etc. I've seen several very young players turn into known talents, like Grace Bowers.
Lemmy still has a lot of growing to do, but so did Reddit when i started.
When I first picked up guitar and my string broke, I didn't know what to do or if I fucked up loosing the ball end. I asked !guitars@lemmy.world for help and everyone there was so supportive in helping me understand what happened.
We will get there but it will take time and effort on everyone's part. Gotta be the change ypu want to see. Take a picture of your guitar and post. Record a 30 second sample upload it to youtube or a peertube instance and post, recommend a sweet tab you think others would like to play and post. Make a slingshot from a guitar string and post. And comment comment comment supportively under everyone else's post so they are engaged to make more. Be hands on, become a mod of a inactive community and make it your baby if that helps.
