    The majority of communities on Lemmy are just reddit clones without any “heart” to them.

    This would imply that reddit still has heart, which it doesn’t.

    Lemmy is still finding itself. For the majority here, leaving reddit was the whole thing that brought them here. It’s going to take time to form its own identity that’s less of a shadow of reddit and more of a demonstration of the new communities.

      What I’m saying is that Lemmy communities feel like they took the empty shell of a Porsche and shoved whatever engine they could find in it but still call it a Porsche.

      Reddit may be soulless but the original subs weren’t. The names got copied over without any thought and they’re run like the wild west
