I feel like there is more variety in the content here than there was on reddit. There's less content, but it's a lot more interesting than the stuff on reddit's front page.
It's also easier to find helpful people here than it was on reddit. Reddit was super arrogant and hostile compared to Lemmy.
oh man you don't even notice the moderators here. it's so nice, they don't feel the need to butt into every fucking conversation
I do wish it was possible to comment in communities you moderate without having it marked as a moderator comment. Rarely do I want to make an "official" statement but if I'm a mod Lemmy defaults to making any mundane comment appear that way.
I think that is WIP to "wear a moderator hat".
Luckily, multiple accounts are widely supported.
Most admins will have multiple accounts, an official-hat account and a casual account.
After some federation drama, i believe marking posts as "official" or not is in the works (as opposed to mod/admin always being official). I dont know if the "official" hat also aliases the user (so there can be a "moderator" account that any mod can assume)
That would have been smart, yes.
Glad to hear it's being worked on though.
