I wouldn't describe it as "sterilized and utopian" but otherwise I agree. Basically, 99% of the people on the Fediverse are tech-savvy, anti-corporate, chronically-online people*. Which also means that there's a much smaller population, because it only consists of these types of people. Meanwhile, there are more "normal" people on Reddit so it has more/more active communities and the viewpoints are more diverse. It's ironic seeing Lemmy have even worse left-wing bias than Reddit, because there's a lot of left-center people on Reddit, but mostly only radical leftists are motivated to participate in Lemmy. * Excluding the nearly-separate Fediverse of right-wing groups, who move to alternative platforms because they're banned from centralized ones. Except it's also an extreme echo-chamber, just a different one.
