Lemmy allows you to edit titles in your posts. Reddit doesn’t, for some obscure reason, allow this.
Lemmy’s community or communities rather, don’t yet feel like anything is as bad as what you’d expect from Reddit. You may know what I’m talking about but as a reminder, I’m talking about posts that don’t quite seem as open minded. I call them small-talk, no-where kind of posts. The kind of posts that equals to a 4 line conversation with anyone in person, on the phone or even online. Never makes it past ‘how are you’ stages.
The nature of the beast though has yet to take effect because it’s not strictly a Reddit thing, it’s more of an internet thing, overall. I presume once Lemmy does reach triple digits in the thousands, we could expect to see some behavior that we don’t like seeing. However…
Lemmy has a registration that can’t be as abused as Reddit’s is. I call Reddit’s registration system, a machine gun for alts. Because of how stupid easy it is, to make an account. If you wanted to, you can stockpile a 100 Reddit accounts on just one e-mail while ignoring verification. And there isn’t anything on Reddit that stops you from this either, just fill a few throwaway forms and boom, you’re back on. Go to AskReddit, make a few empty comments, gain some karma or just bide your time a little until you resume your trolling antics again.
Easy to navigate, a nice little list of communities to hop to.
An engaging community, nothing feels too bait-y, things feel fairly contained. I don’t feel as much as I did with reddit where anything I said that wasn’t looking to instigate an argument, will be antagonized in any way. Reddit has a very spiteful hivemind as I’m sure we’ve all felt it by the DdoS attacks which is something Reddit users have been known to do in the past.
We need more places like Lemmy.

From my perspective, the trans movement is teaching people to hate who they truly are and change themselves.
A message of true love would be to love who you truly are, which is how you were born.
Mutilating your body is the opposite of love.
Trans is hate, packaged up and gift-wrapped with false love on the outside. It’s the real reason why their suicide rates are so high
Do you apply that standard to all of medical science or just gender affirming care? Is breast augmentation also ‘hate, packaged up and gift-wrapped with false love on the outside’? How about palatoplasty, is that also ‘hate’?
What constitutes mutilation?
Does it include only aesthetic changes, like tattoos and piercings, or is it stricter?
Any surgical change whatsoever? Are cleft lip surgeries a denial of how you were born?
If your argument is then “no, of course not, even if there is predominantly an aesthetic change, modern health care is broadly in favor of this as a necessary correction”, then how do you account for this being the same stance applied to gender affirming care?
Is it because you don’t wish to see trans people as the gender they present? Why is that? Do you have an argument that is not based in a religion or culture that does not apply to all?
Wouldn’t this be a disqualifier for nearly every possible argument about any possible social topic, given that there is no universally accepted uniculture?

That’s probably because you’re a moron. You have no grasp on actual reality, and so you fabricate one that allows you to feel free to hate people who are different from you. You are, in essence, a piece of shit.
