Honestly, it’s pretty left wing and there can be duplicates of communities. There’s far less content than on Reddit but I find that better because I lost weeks of my life doom scrolling on Reddit. I hit a point on here where I just have to wait for more stuff to appear. One good thing about that is you can comment on something and actually be heard. Not like on Reddit where all but the most niche communities have 200+ comments on each post.
Also, and this is a big one, you have to be running Linux.
I mean, I didn’t when I joined Lemmy, but I do now.
I don’t think Lemmy was the deciding factor, Microsoft almost forced me by checking how much they can enshitificate win11 before users start exploding.
That’s perfectly valid. If Windows suits your needs and priorities, use it. I use Windows on my work laptop because Linux would be a nightmare with all the tools and apps we use. But personal laptop? Linux all the way.
In case you’re serious, Lemmy is the hot, exciting, punk, rebel version of reddit and Linux is the hot, exciting, punk, rebel version of using your computer. The motivation for using either are quite similar.
In fact, I’m using the both systems. (I used more or less ALL LINUX EVER lol). But I’m here just because Reddit is now a full porn / horny place, without any soul. Too many ads too.
It’s okay if you’re not linux, but there are a lot of those users here. You’ll hear a lot about it, lol.
It is not an anger factory here either for the most part. You’re coming around election time, so there is a bit of it. You might go through a bit of withdrawal.
Today I finished setting up local searxng on NixOS. I made it so that when the searxng module is enabled the searxng will get added to firefox as custom and default search engine which is pretty neat.
E: Otherwise if the module is disabled then ddg is used as a fallback.

Whhhhhyyyy Linux ? It works with Edge on Windows 11. But I think you’re right. It seems a far less anxious than Reddit, too.
You don’t have to use Linux… But, the side effects of using Lemmy might include switching to Linux and self hosting.
😎 I use Linux bro. Not on this computer, but I use Linux lol.
You’ll fit in just fine

For me, Win11 just works （⊙ｏ⊙） I assume it depends for your softwares, reinstalls, etc.

Also, the more difficult your Linux distribution is to use, the more respect you’ll receive.
E.g. Ubuntu < NixOS < LFS
