i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

Because it’s easier to moderate smaller communities and the average idiot hasn’t discovered these types of communities. Reddit on the other hand has reached mainstream status, so the average idiot is going to sign up there and say stupid stuff or be idiotic. Every platform goes through this.
That’s true, but Lemmy could potentially be different. The fact that it’s a federation means some instances can go mainstream and become more like reddit, and others can be more exclusive and try to preserve their atmosphere/culture.
Yup, it happened to Facebook, then reddit. Overrun by idiots.
Sadly, you’re right; Lemmy’s quality will most likely tank just as hard as Reddit when it goes mainstream.
I have my doubts that it will get as big as reddit was
