of course there are far fewer users, but a few times I’ve gone back to see if I was missing something and of the 25 posts on the home page, it felt like more than half were reposts of some ask reddit question to bait interactions that I’ve seen before, followed by what appeared to be bot posts, then maybe like 3-5 user posts. Of course, specific, niche communities should be better, but as far as home experience, I have a hunch that it’s mostly bots.

since Lemmy and the like don’t have a motivation for that and the people in general hhhhaaaaaattee bots, I think that it may appear to be less than it is when you remove reddit’s bot content
