I joined because Reddit has become a cesspool of bots and toxic behaviour. Lemmy is still completely open-sourced, while Reddit isn’t at all now. Also, when you first sign up on Reddit currently, you get completely ignored now and can’t post or comment on regular subs.

    It’s a piefed instance. One of the coolest things about the fediverse is that you can follow from different kinds of platforms, so some folks follow from a mastodon instance, or a sharkey instance, or a pixelfed instance, but they can still participate the same as people on a lemmy instance. Piefed is basically the same ui as you see, with a few minor differences, but some of them get pretty exotic.
