It's much nicer though, lemmy is not designed to be addictive so it's much easier to not waste time on it.

I am quite addicted nonetheless ;)
It's just temporary hype. Things should settle down eventually, though never all the way down to where they were. pagination, no karma or rewards, no agressive notifications, etc. all mean lemmy is a far healthier platform than Reddit.
I miss some communities here that are present on Reddit. But you're right, here you can feel yourself more free and more engaged. With some time and some effort, this can be very awesome.
What communities? They can be built here
Specific video game communities, like the subreddit for stardew valley or for Temtem, they aren't here yet
I've lurked on Reddit since the Digg exodus very rarely posting / commenting on anything. Although lemmy is lacking content and more niche communities at the moment I find myself actually wanting to take part in the discussions here and not just consuming.
I agree. This feels like the beginning of something beautiful and I'm guessing we're still in the honeymoon phase.
But yeah, better to be here than on the corporatized hell hole that reddit has become.
