When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

I'm a lot more active then I was on Reddit.

I was very active in the subs of the games I play (I'm even r/CSRRacing2 mod) when I started there, but I'm getting tired of the hate, stupidity,...

I am more actif here than on reddit. There was a time on reddit I stopped even upvotes and down votes when I noticed they are changing philosophy. Here I post more stuff and wrote more comments. Sometimes to add value to discussions and sometimes just for the sake of commenting and getting activity rolling.

[–] Strangle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] freeman@lemmy.pub 2 points 2 years ago

I hear ya. Thats why i just setup my own instance....

[–] Kongar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed - stopped posting and sharing on Reddit a while ago. I engage more and find this place more engaging. It’s good!

[–] supermurs@suppo.fi 2 points 2 years ago

For me it was always difficult to be active on R so the atmosphere here is much more pleasant.

[–] Screak42@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I have not touched reddit since this debacle... I added a bunch of subreddits to my RSS reader, but I'm honestly not looking at it.

Unfortunately searching for information often brings me to a reddit post, but I'm trying to avoid it and so far found the information elsewhere.

[–] MusketeerX@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

This is my second comment since joining this morning, so yes, significantly more active.

[–] MazeMouse@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Gbagginsthe3rd@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely.

[–] xoniq@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

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

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.

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.

[–] Macallan@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yup, way more active. I used to mainly lurk on reddit. Now I'm commenting more and have actually posted a couple of times.

[–] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

barely, but I'm trying

[–] ddtfrog@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

So far trying to find my old communities I would run with, can’t seem to find all of them.

I did once find /r/FeedTheBeast on lemmy but no longer can find it on here!

Once I get my rotation I will def use this way more.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

To some extent, yeah. It feels like a more tight-nit community here.

[–] t0fr@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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
