No Stupid Questions

Finding it way easier to engage and comment. Don't have to wade through thousands of shit comments on Lemmy. Loving it!

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.

Although it’s only been a couple of days, I feel more connected here. You don’t have conversations on Reddit anymore unless you’re a in a small subreddit. If you don’t comment on a Reddit post within the first hour, no one sees it. It’s not about karma, it’s about engagement and community.

Have not made a post yet (busy with school and work) but I definitely comment more. Feels so much like web 1.0 forums with a splash of 2.0.

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

I commented on reddit a lot, many times a day for many years. After the latest bullshit I had no qualms about dropping it like a hot potato. Bye bye, not going back. The future of social media is decentralized.

Yes I’ve definitely posted more here than Reddit. The only thing that keeps me from posting more is performance issues. There have been a few times when I wrote a response but the post button just spins and eventually I give up.

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.

I barely interacted in Reddit. But communities here makes me want to participate.

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

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

Yup, mostly lurker to poster

I'm trying to. I'm so used to lurking on Reddit that I forget to actually post here. Working on it, though.

I love posting here! It, like you said, has a much nicer and kinder vibe here 💕

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

Definitely, but I also maintain my own Lemmy instance and moderate [email protected]. I also want Lemmy to succeed, so I am more inclined to engage than lurk, because the more activity, the more appealing Lemmy will look for newcomers, resulting in even more activity!

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.

Posting links or content? Not so much but I’ve definitely commented a lot more.

I'm trying to support the change. I joined 6/11, I stopped visiting the other site the same time.

I created a community that didn't exist yet here (in the fediverse) and am trying to post /comment more then I would normally. I wasn't a lurker over there but I am more engaged here.

Long live the new(ish) fediverse :)

Edit: I also removed my content and deleted my 12yo account on 7/1

Yeah, definitely, idk I even started a community in [email protected] and created a user script to change all links on all websites to one's home instance. Definitely want this to succeed.

I comment more but post little. But I'm also on vacation so maybe I'll post more when I'm back home

Gotta involve more :D make this place what reddit could never become.

I'm hoping to get more active as the platforms stabalize and I learn how everything works.

I'm pretty confident that things are going to take off soon! Loving the conversion on this platform so far, also enjoying the randomness.

It will be nice to have some more definition and focus for some topics (this is also probably me just being a noob at this) but I'm not really in a rush to get there as the information is available elsewhere, but the current atmosphere with Lemmy feels very unique and special

Absolutely, this feels less intimidating in a way. I've probably commented more here at the fediverse over the last few weeks then my whole time at Reddit

Definitely true at the moment as I'm trying to understand how this all works and where I want to be within it! I'll have to see if I go back to my lurking ways after the curiosity has died down, but so far I kinda like being able to pick communities not just for what they have, but also what the vibes are. I always hated negative stuff in r/gaming and other game subreddits, but I loved r/lowsodiumcyberpunk. I think beehaws gaming community seems so cool because of their emphasis on be(e)ing nice.

Much more so! Reddit just felt so vast it all just felt so damn futile haha

I literally haven't posted anything on reddit since the blackout. All of my posting has been in the fediverse...

Yeah there was no real contributions worthwhile on Reddit on main subs. I was in a few smaller subs that would chat daily but nothing big.

this place is just way nicer than reddit, don't see as many arguments over nothing here

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.

Absolutely. It's too easy to get lost in large communities. Smaller communities let you get heard.

Yep, this site has really chill vibes and it encourages posting

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.

Definitely, don't feel nearly as self conscious about posting with less activity
