Most people who do this are looking for a middle ground, somewhere between here and there. Sadly, going somewhere new and tearing it down is easier than staying somewhere and building it up.

I don’t see how this is sad. If you dislike an aspect of Lemmy, there are many options available: Change instances, host your own instance, contribute to the source code, try out Mbin, piefed, sublinks, etc. If you dislike an aspect of Reddit, tough luck.
Fucking yeesh. The problem with Reddit isn’t Redditors and mods, it never was. The problem is the Reddit admins and owners. Let people do what they want, it literally doesn’t affect you.
I got permabanned from commenting on r/insaneparents for “giving medical advice” when I was just sharing my own similar experience and saying that a good psychologist helped me put things in perspective. It was my only rule break and they didn’t respond to my messages asking for forgiveness and to be reinstated other than a threat to fully ban me if I kept contacting them… Some mods are shit.
Is there a new reddit influx for some reason? Or is this just in general?
I don’t think there is any influx, numbers seems very stable: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
2024-07-29 seems to have a increase in some stats, also there is a server running on oracle
Good luck convincing them when there’s already upvotes, downvotes, posts, and sub-communities!
Maybe educate them on instances and how they affect what you see and post.
So you don’t like immigration?
