Two years for me, too. But I disagree that it's nicer than on Reddit. The way Lemmy works fosters the development of cliques. Also, with much fewer users it makes it so that 'power' users wind up having a weird cult-like following that boosts their posts/comments and suppresses anyone who dares to point out when those people mistreat other people and/or break the rules that are clearly applied selectively.
Feel free to report such abuse on [email protected]
