I am biased (of course), but you are experiencing the best of the best - the core of what made reddit good. people who take that leap of faith and break free from the reddit shackles (like you) are just plain built different and I am glad you are here.
I have to agree about many users from a certain group/type of people affected enough by the reddit fiasco are those that are here rn. I'm biased as well, but I appreciate the compliment. Tbh, I'm just going with the flow. I saw a recommendation from reddit and was curious enough to check lemmy out.
But many of the users here (most probably you included) are here because they actually give a crap. Some are pretty active. Some are already starting communities and posting. I'd love to see the fediverse grow but I'm afraid it'll end up like reddit.

federation will go a long way to keep things in check. current server not your cup of tea (rules, content, etc)? then switch to another or run your own. create your own exactly named and curated community on a different server and federation propogates or prunes it across the network.
we are in brand new social teritory here and I am thrilled.

I'm so interested in how it works out as well
