Here are some specific questions.

  • Are the upvotes and downvotes I make, private? If I report a comment, is my report private?

  • Can someone follow me across lemmy instances based on my username?

  • If I want to make a community, is there a reason I would choose one lemmy over another?

  • Are the powers of moderators similar to reddit’s?

  • Where can I find a list of most active lemmy instances?

  • Any other differences from reddit I should know about?

    Lemmy admins create rule structures for the same reason Reddit admins do, they are doing high level curation of the communities they want.

    You’re right in that there isn’t the firewall between moderators and admins on Lemmy that there was on Reddit, but that was a choice that Reddit admins made, not a design difference between the two services.

      No reddit admins can’t push their agenda because they were employees here that is not the case and i am not saying that is a bad thing
