To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time πŸ™ƒ)

The smugness can be a bit annoying but I interpret it as mostly jokes and healthy for the growth of the platform. I am enjoying myself more here than on Reddit, and when I see that others share that sentiment (smugly or not), it does embolden me to encourage my friends to give Lemmy a try.

Did you just reframe smugness as not only justified but helpful actually, and really it makes a place more popular?

That's some 4D smugness.

Idk, if all the discussion on Lemmy was 'damn this place sucks' then I wouldn't want to share it with my friends. Maybe it is just a bad take though lol I'm not feeling too hot on it reading it back now

This is all in good nature... I mean, there is a reason why quite a few of us are here. Myself included.

...and yeah, I'd like to see healthy engagement here and if that means a little smugness just to convince people to get involved, I'll take it.
