I think people like piefed, which is kind of a separate thing but also federated. It’s weird.
But think of it as going to a different culture: different culture do different things well and if you’re just looking to COPY your cultural matrix onto another culture, you are going to miss out on what makes that culture unique.
Example:
French have a really amazing culture of comic books. A French person learning Spanish might think, “Oh, I’ll just read a bunch of Spanish comic books” and be immediately disappointed. The solution isn’t to say, “Well, I guess Spanish culture just sucks,” it is to recognize that your current preferences are formed by what your culture was good at and take the time and effort to appreciate new things.

Which is a big part of why I hate Soda Stereo so much, but that’s a different story.
No, not currently. I’ve pretty much been getting by with Lemmy and substituting with Reddit where needed. Believe it or not, Lemmy has grown a lot within the past year or two. I think it will eventually get to a decent spot but that may take a while longer.
Trade off.
Less nichey and less specific, but more community, you run into the same people multiple places.
What are you looking for?
to be honest I’m looking for communities like nosleep etc. Maybe they exist because I didn’t figure out how it works yet
Ooh, I’d love something like this too. There’s a creepypasta community but it doesn’t have frequent posts unfortunately.
Do you use anything else than lemmy and Reddit?

Lemmy is the most active reddit alternative that I’m aware of.
there are dozens of us.

Yeah, that would be great. Unfortunately I havent found one yet, and I’m no writer.
