No Stupid Questions

It's actually the other way around here... on reddit, i often found silly arguments I'd end up getting involved in and it'd end up taking so much of my time with stupid stressful bickering. Here, i mostly see sensible discussion, and any points i want to make are already being thoughtfully discussed, so there's no need for me to wade in.

Because it's new and everyone is still enjoying the "Lemmy good, Plebbit bad" mentality/circlejerk out of the current events we are having.

Yeah, definitely engaging way more than before. People are nicer here.

I post way more than I ever did on reddit

As someone who experienced the digg migration, this is the magical place Reddit once was

I’m trying to find the most popular communities so I can figure out what websites blogs I can post and generate content like I was used to when browsing subreddits

I posted a fair amount on Reddit, this place seems fun.

I am exactly the same. I have posted here more times than I did on Reddit in total.

There is just something ‘nice’ about being here. I love that there are region/area specific sites you can join and go from there. I have joined the UK specific Feddi.uk and have found a lot to enjoy.

Let’s all help make this the place to be going forwards.

Yup, mostly lurker to poster

No, I still remain a lousy human

For sure not just you. I noticed my first day too - especially on SDF, which is a much smaller instance. Somehow it feels more like being at a small party compared to being on a crowded subway.

I'm doing my part!

One of us, one of us!

Already posted several comments. In my 10 years of reddit, I posted perhaps 10 times. So im way above my average on lemmy until now. I try to be more active to attract more lemmings.

I got banned for ‘ban evading’, so I’m glad to post again.

I had 2 accounts (one for school/comp Sci, one for everything else) I insulted a mod in a larger sub and got banned on account A. Forgot I was banned from it and commented on the sub it with account B. This was around winter/spring when they were testing new ban tools and got full ban on current/new accounts I make so I’ve been loving Lemmy so far.

Absolutely

Almost any thread i opened within the first few posts someone already said what i would have said, so i would just scroll until i found my confirmation bias, updoot and move on. i wonder if lemmy will get so massive that the problem comes here.

I was mostly a lurker on Reddit, but the smaller community on Lemmy has made it so others actually see my comments. On Reddit they would just get lost in the thousands of other comments.

There are definite upsides to having a smaller community.

Seems like there's more reason to participate here. I may end up posting more, but several of my posts returned in error. Server issues, I assume, but frustrating when I'd have to rewrite everything.

No karma (on Kbin it's hidden inside the profile page, so same deal), healthier interactions, mods seem to have less tolerance to bullshit, and smaller userbase on instances in comparison with Reddit's huge userbase. It's a win-win.

Oh man tell me about it. I have been commenting on posts that I find interesting all the time here. In Reddit, I was a lurker with maybe a few uploads and upvote/downvote per year. There’s something about lemmy, I guess it’s the potential to be a true community that excites me

The opposite way for me.

I am defenitely more active here when posting, but, looking at my reddit-account it becomes clear I was an active commenter before I left.

Just joined lemmy last night. (Now it's morning where I am from). Already commented 3-4 times. On reddit I used to comment once probably in a couple of weeks. It's probably because it's something very new and interesting. Also I am finding that people around seem nicer in a way maybe?

For sure, similar to what others expressed to help with engagement/activity. The centralized for-profit platforms hold way too much power over my infotainment appetite.
