how is Lemmy going for you?
Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

The echo chamber is pretty bad here. I also don't like that people here downvote opinions they don't agree with, Reddit did this too though. I don't think opinions should ever be voted on, up or down. People see which types of opinions get the most upvotes and it causes them to not express their true opinions for fear of being downvoted.
There are instances that disable downvotes, you may want to migrate to one that does. https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances#all-lemmy-instances has a column that indicates if an instance has them turned on or off.
reddit has the ability to hide post vote counts for a certain time to mitigate this. It's a feature that's worth bringing across.
(I also think it's worth capping the number of upvotes and downvotes a post/comment can get - and to do so asymmetrically, eg no more than 10 downvotes and 100 upvotes.)
