Honestly not great. I was permanently banned from Reddit and the admins wouldn’t tell me what I did. I came to Lemmy thinking it was a better alternative to Reddit, only to find out how toxic Lemmy is. It’s even worse than Reddit in terms of toxicity.
Really? That is surprising. I don’t find lemmy to be toxic.

Oh, I like that! They’re funny and have provided me with a lot of laughter
