The discourse I've observed thus far has felt more honest, less pugnacious than on Reddit. Obviously I've seen a drop in the bucket, but anyway, it's good so far.
For the most part, yeah. I feel like it's much better overall.
I sort by all and new when I want fresh content, and there's plenty, although it depends on how much your instance members are subbed to.

Well yes, but do you want to maintain that ambience or attract more users? IMO these objectives are in conflict.
You're probably right, but ultimately I think the vast amount of niche content around so many different hobbies is the most valuable thing, even if it comes with a bit of... human toxicity.
Sadly, I just can't imagine how you get the former while really effectively suppressing the latter.
