Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.

I presume you are a woman? I am a woman too and see Lemmy just as comfortable or uncomfortable as Reddit was. Granted there are less communities focused on women though, is that what you mean? Or you really mean Lemmy is more toxic?
Yeah I’m not sure what they mean either, and I chat to other women on here every day. Not to say they’ve not had a bad experience obviously but it seems far from universal.
OP if someone is being a sexist creep, smash that report button!
Can’t say I’ve noticed anything different to most places, other than right back at the start when I called a few people out for assuming everyone was a guy it actually got upvoted, which was nice 😄
I’m going to quote it wrong, but there was a funny post on Reddit about 10 years ago that went something like “Statistically, you’re probably a white guy aged 19-22 in the USA”.
Honestly, the comments were hysterical because yes. Half the respondents met all those criteria, and most of the rest met 3+ of them.
And yet we have the audacity to upvote things like this 😄 https://lemmy.world/post/5033708
Not OP and not a woman, but yeah, there are way fewer communities for women here, but Reddit was much worse and a lot more sexist when it was just finding its feet. There is still a bit of a boys club mentality around Lemmy though.
