Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit?

When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

Yea. Literally every reddit comment I posted resulted in someone replying to me in a toxic way.
I've only blocked one person on lemmy and that's because they were replying to me in a toxic manner. That's the first reply I've had that's toxic, and I nipped it in the bud. I don't care to have fighting matches back and forth.
Have you noticed if you go to Reddit and click on any thread, usually within the first comment thread, someone will be hating on another person? Fuck that.
I'd honestly suggest everyone block anyone who is being toxic. Not to mention, others don't want to see your drama while looking through comments.
- Furthermore, it's great that you can block someone without reporting them here. You can just kinda look at a comment history and be like “None of this is rule breaking, but you're just a jerkass, and I do not care to associate with you.” Further, you can block communities without that being a damnation of that community. Don't know German? Just block the German communities and they won't show in your feed. It's not because they're bad subs, and you want them to go away. You just don't care about them
  
  There's a setting that let's you see English only without having to block i think. I know if you post in English and select "post language" as English only those who set English see and German set language will not. :)
  
  I've set that, but a bunch of them have their language set as undefined. That's fine. I don't mind it. It's just nice to be able to easily and quickly filter out my feed to the set of posts that I can literally make sense of and that my brain doesn't register as impossible to read mystery language
  
  Ohh i see
  
  Hm, I'm using Jerboa and just realized there seems not to be a way to choose any language, anywhere. Does this comment appear as English, or undefined?
  I also can speak several languages, and read a few some more, wonder how would that need to be set. There was also supposed to be an option to automatically translate stuff, I think?
  
  I don't see any language tag on this comment, so i assume undefined, but idk how to easily tell
- I also hate how every post you make you would instantly have an automod comment saying the rules.
  
  That could still come to Lemmy, if posts start being seen by hundreds of thousands of people, particularly if they come from instances which don't share the same netiquette as the one the post is made on. Of course there's defederation to fight that, but I feel like it can only go so far.
