Federated communities have been a challenge to me, because I've usually been a passive consumer, never really contributing.
I am trying to comment much more and hopefully post, because I want to help contribute the type of content that I want to see!
Same here. On reddit I have mostly only been a commenter, I made perhaps five posts over all my years there, virtually all of my 40k karma or so was from commenting.
And while I do that here too of course I am trying to contribute content as well, like asking Linux questions which may eventually help promoting Lemmy through search engine relevance. Of course it doesn't hurt that Linux is probably the biggest common denominator amongst Lemmy users, so the chance for useful replies is much higher than trying to get a niche community going.
I came over during the API bullshit. I was very active on Reddit but then learned about the fediverse and how great this is here. I post daily to try to help out.
This was me on reddit...

That's a lot of karma lol
glad you are putting those memeposting skills to use here now
Yeah on Reddit I made 12 posts in 12 years. Iβve made over 10x that number on Lemmy in less than 1 year. Caring about the platform makes a big difference in my desire to engage and contribute.
Same. I think it's the smaller size of the community that mainly contributes to me posting more.
On reddit, if my post interests the same percentage of people I will have a lot more answer which makes it impossible to engage with all of them. And since people are less likely to respond I stopped posting on Reddit altogether.
And knowing that the community (that I've curated anyway) is generally not toxic and overly hostile, especially to civil discourse. That fosters trust that if I engage, I'm not going to be downvoted and socially shunned because of some minor community fixation.
Likewise. Itβs unlike me, but Iβm here to be the life of the party to the extent that Iβm able and willing. I care too much about users in control of their own communities not to participate. I hope my drop in the bucket helps bring and maintain critical mass.
I suspect when you look at the internet as a whole, this is how most people are.
Scroll, scroll, scroll, thumbs up, scroll, scroll, scroll, heart, scroll, scroll, scroll, eggplant eggplant flag.
I feel like the money side of the internet has pushed people that way, and pushing for forced positivity as well, like Youtube taking away the downvote button, Facebook has never even had one.

I've never been a fan of up or down votes. I think they only make sense for communities of a scale that is (increasingly) less interesting to me.
Yeah, I'm actually surfing reddit and lemmy together and I noticed the votes are misleading me on reddit.
every top post is some propaganda and the real stuff is either hidden or downvoted to hell.

I only posted on reddit a few times, but nearly everyone was met with some weird hate, one was just a cool ohot9 of a bar I took, here tho, I've posted shit and I might get a somewhat negative comment maybe if I'm really unlucky, but mostly its been fun and made me want tonpost stuff, even if it is something stupid.
This place is better just because we know how bad it can be and we actively try to not be like that, to the best of our abilities.
Plus when you do come across a jerk, blocking them actually matters because there are so few people here. On reddit it's an infinite sea of douchebags.
