Asklemmy

Absolutely, I'm way more active on here. Reddit is so oversaturated, it's impossible to comment on a post before it already has hundreds of comments unless you have time to sit in New and comment as submissions come in. Here, I feel like someone will actually read what I write. Thanks for reading!

Honestly, I'm trying to be more active in here. The whole defederation thing going around has me confused about where my account lives and replicating what's on it. Makes it hard to stay active if I don't know what's going to happen haha

Only reason I visit reddit now is to see how the dumpster fire is going

I have not been on reddit since the protest, but I didnt post or comment a lot anyway so probably not much of an impact

Current Lemmy feels a lot more like early reddit. At the same time I don't think it has hit its Eternal September moment. The site is still primarily the domain of early adopters and people who care about the community.

I think so. I feel the camaraderie is much higher here as well, since we’re all refugees together in a sense, but also part of a great new thing.

1000%!

I actually created a community for a hobby of mine, and have been trying to post and comment more.

Yes because:

1. I want to see it take off and want to do my bit
2. It feels like a more chilled environment in which to participate

Yes, definitely. Maybe I feel like my contributions matter more since we are all trying to make this a viable platform? I dunno, but it's definitely more fun interacting here than on reddit.

Nah. Thankfully my mindless scrolling time has taken a dive, which is an issue I had been meaning to address regardless.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not the most active, but I made a sublemmy (I'm still not sure about the naming convention here lol) and that's something I never did on Reddit, because everything was usually already there in some form. I also did it to contribute, because I know that us being active actually counts for something. On Reddit I could go months without posting or commenting. So yes, I'm definitely more active and it feels like you are actually engaging with other people and not just consuming content.

I’m making myself be active here. I’m learning to build my own lemmy instance on a VPS.

I want there to be a sea change in social media. I want an authentic intellectual conversation. I was in college during the usenet era and found it easy to find mind expanding stuff there with a minimum of toxicity.

My hope is the community and software mature steadily together until it is ready to handle a significant influx.

Let’s not reward toxicity. We need to steer the conversation and the software development to reward quality engagement over quantity.

Have recently made the jump from Reddit. With a brilliant 3rd part app - go figure!! I expect to be more active here.

I think I'm about as active here as I was on Reddit. Always was more of a reader.

I certainly do! Reddit was just too loud in every way.

Just started today, but as my reddit activity is going down to zero …. Yes lol

Yes, absolutely. I'm still not sure if it's because the whole community is smaller here, the people are better, no Karma competition, or a combination of all the above

Yeah. Im getting very active here.

Yes, by far. I wouldn’t really comment on Reddit. Here I do

More active here, i never got onto the idea of reddit, always made me uncomfortable for some reason.

I did use 3rd party apps like slide or infinity to read reddit posts and follow sibreddits i liked.

I’m so glad to finally join! Signup was tricky and finally got Memmy working for ios. Happy days

I never posted on Reddit. Every time I did it was a bad time. I could post the most innocuous thing imaginable (The sky is blue. Water is wet), and without fail have at least a few people telling me I was stupid, naive, woke, a Nazi, whatever. There is a ton of extremist energy around here too, but the radical left is much easier for me to stomach than the radical right.

100% Lemmy content is just so much more up my alley

Equally. Try to get used to this and to subscribe to topics I follow.

Absolutely.

I'm not very active yet as there are only a few subs that match. Once there are more...
