Coming from Reddit, it feels similar but nice overall. Still a bit clunky because fediverse stuff is clunky, somewhat by nature.

It’s different. I wish I had the ability to create a meta-community (or meta-instance) that pulls communities from different instances together into one feed without having to mass-subscribe to all of them.
The fact there are multiple communities of the same or similar interest spread across multiple instances makes it much harder to get a good grasp of actual activity, so it takes more effort to reach a critical mass.
It’ll get better with time since Lemmy is still pretty underdeveloped as software.
Yeah, a feature that let people (or instances) “link” together communities to get their posts as 1 would be nice. Also if it let you post to all of them in parallel
I reckon such a feature would start catching on, even if it’s on client side.
The entire point of federation is to allow duplicate threads (kind of like how different forums can have the exact same discussion thread), but a consequence is it does spread activity out, and from my PoV, at least in the short term making things seem less active than they actually are is a bit discouraging for people to want to commit.
Cross-posting is also supported innately so that’s nice.
