MODERATORS
 

As part of ongoing efforts to simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization, the final steps to deprecate r/all are being implemented. All links to r/all will now redirect to the Home feed, following the prior removal of r/all entry points. Trending content remains available via r/popular.

Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.

the users don't start insulting you when you ask a perfectly legitimate question

I dont know about that one chief, on lemmy it defo depends on the question/topic Ive noticed lol

Thats why I added "perfectly legitimate" ;D I mean, silly/dumb questions are going to get silly and dumb answers.

But for example, I used to be a car mechanic, came across a problem, went to reddit and asked if anyone has come across the same problem and how they fixed it, I got 3 "if you can't figure this out you shouldn't be a mechanic" answers, one "I don't know sounds bad lol" andswer and one asking for more information that ended up not going anywhere. After that, I started to notice similar patterns more often and everywhere.

I do realize I haven't been active on lemmy for too long and this is not really a place where people come with their questions so the sample size is a bit lacking. But people seem to be more friendlier and.... human. And not in a "not a bot" way, but more down to earth and not trying to score internet points or be the first one to make the joke.

I agree with that, but I have noticed some topic areas have more hostility than others!

Yeah thats also a variable. Depends highly of the user/fan base.
