A much more selective user base. People are very picky in what they upvote. I feel like in the Spez pool people upvoted or downvoted and would comment a lot easier. Here people vote with 3 options. Up, down or not. Feels much more deliberate. Also means you get a lot less comments (despite there being less users), because people follow the Bambi principle more here (if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all)
AND, I think there are some fediverse issues with the various clients and the fact that language is per post setting, hindering discovery.
Ah. The default UI on lemmy.world warns against unselecting ‘undefined’, saying that many posts would be removed from the feed. Dunno how it is on other instances.
I always felt on R that if you commented, most of the time, it goes down a black hole. You come into something “late” and no one sees your comment. No up/down votes at all. Which can feel very bad if you spent a lot of time on your response.
I like that “Bambi principle”. Thats a good way of putting it.

It’s not about instances, but about Lemmy clients not supporting the language setting.
