That's the face I made about a week into trading Reddit participation in for Lemmy participation or just break-from-social-media time. Conversations feel more genuine, there's less overbearing moderation (at least in my experience), and if there's nothing new on Lemmy I've probably spent enough time reading forums anyways. I'm only keeping my 13-year-old Reddit account to keep track of old favorited posts and specialist forums like specific video game tips.

I can't agree with you more. I have save posts, and niche subs (but I'm not active, I'd just hate to lose them). And on Lemmy I've never seen a thread with deleted comments only. There are less comments here, less people, but quality people.

My only problem is that all and every topic will be about politics or linux. While I'm all for being stuck in a little linux bubble, I hate the politics here. Some dislike the linux topics as well.

I miss niche communities, but the switch was well worth it.
