It's not the size, it's the content. Lemmyverse is a lot more serious and honestly, gloomy. Average age seems to be quite higher too. If all you used reddit for was news, politics, technical discussion and porn lemmy might be perfectly fine but there's way less meme or entertainment content here

I still appreciate Lemmy more. It's more intimate and people are way more respectful. Also, Reddit is full of shit comments. Lemmy comments aren't perfect or amazing, but I visited Reddit this week looking for memes (agree with your point on quantity of memes) and perused the comments. I forgot how stupid and formulaic Reddit can be. I'm really happy that didn't transfer over to Lemmy.

Yeah I'm glad reddit's comment culture didn't carry over

Maybe it's just the communities I frequent, but I think it did carry over. There's a lot of sarcastic comments, holier than thou comments, and meme comments on Lemmy just like Reddit.

Edit: Also, a lot of negativity.
