Much better community. I've posted on Reddit and gotten posts removed, downvoted, and no interaction. Communities are smaller here but if you post something, you will get interaction.

Edit: also, after you scroll through reddit for a sufficient amount of time. You realize everything on your algorithm is karma farm bots reposting stuff. Every now and then you will get decent posts and then you look through the comments and there are karma farming bots. Essentially, you have to sift through a pile of shit to find good content.
