MODERATORS
Commenting in Reddit felt very claustrophobic in a way. And saturated. Kind of sad, also, if you were some days late to some nice topic, and get buried under thousands and thousands of comments made prior yours, and have zero interactions at that point from anyone, even if you asked a very relevant question or whatever.
But I suspect Lemmy will get to that point too. Right now, though, it’s light enough to actually warrant wasting energy writing anything as a response to anything.
There will always be new and smaller instances tho. Like it was true for smaller communities in reddit. It's all good and well until they get exceedingly popular and a shitshow.
I get more responses here than I ever did at Reddit. Like you can engaged in a conversation, not just try to figure out the stupidest thing to say to get the most votes and making sure you post at like, 4am for maximum exposure
