I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.

Politics in !memes (even over non-political topics). Plenty of engagement in the comments. People want to argue like they're on twitter. Friendly comment sections on non-political posts (if it stays that way). Insert something to do with communism/the west here. Cross-instance posting provides variety. Active mods prevent abuse of the rules. High quality memes. High quality posts. High quality comment sections. The app you use dictates how good your interaction with the website is. (I recommend Voyager, my daily driver.) Lemmy's been better since the reddit exodus a few years ago. You could wait 2-3 days before new content hit your home page back in the day. Sub to communities you're interested in so its easier when you come back.
