For me this is the closest reddit alternative i know of. Sure lemmy isint as big as reddit and reddit has far more tech issues, But im new here so i cant really say much.

Do you prefer lemmy or reddit? are there any other social media i should try? please briefly explain your thoughts and ideals.

The one thing I miss from reddit was the ability to disable inbox replies.

What do you mean, like the notifications or no direct messaging at all? Also if it isn't available here, you could verify if it is available on Piefed, which would just have you accessing the same content from another client. Aka you would still see your comments here, but if that feature is important to you maybe they have it or are building it. I don't know much about the project other than users mentioning some features they were looking for existed there. (And some instances on Lemmy are building instances there)

It stops replies from showing up in your inbox... I know reddit has notifications but I use old. layout so I never saw them.

Maybe this is what you may like? This was from the Piefed settings

It appears there is a setting where you can only get private messages from your instance, or trusted instances if that is appealing

They like to shitpost, but don't want notifications of people replying to disagree with their shit posts. I'm grateful there isn't an option to turn off reply notifications as it means you can't isolate yourself from your posts' consequences.
