Asklemmy

I am a bit more active here than I was in Reddit because I feel like here we don't really find the toxicity we had on Reddit, at least in my opinion.

I feel like I am not yet, but I will be. Some of the subs I have on Reddit aren’t here yet, partly because they’re either niche or liked by a lot of people that are less tech literate including their maintainers.

I have gone trough some instances before deciding on my current one and I like the stance of most that are for an active discussion, against mindless downvotes and for overall more communication than social media consumption.

The fact that there is next to no automated account making will also help in the long run I think. It makes it an less attractive target for the bad kind of bots imo.

Definitely. I'm both posting and commenting way more. I need to do my part to make sure this thing really takes off!

MUCH more active here for me

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

I feel like I have seen more conversations on Lemmy about Reddit than original content

I haven't browsed Reddit since a couple of weeks now. I am definitely more active on Lemmy.

Lemmy just feels better to comment/interact with. I just feel more motivated to be active on here.

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

I am definitely feeling more motivated to participate here. It feels like a very welcoming environment so far.

I definitely am. I may have more comments and posts here than on Reddit already and I have only been here a fraction of the time.

Not yet. My niche communities don’t exist in the fediverse yet like they do on Reddit, and I do not have the bandwidth to start new communities right now. Excited to watch it grow and continue to contribute where I can.

The smaller the community, the bigger the impact of your opinions.

For example, just on my own, I can reach a good 50% impact on anything I say unless my wife says something different.

Absolutely. As much as I loved Reddit, I always felt drowned out due to the large user base and was hesitant to share my opinion. Thanks to Lemmy and its (currently) smaller communities, I feel like my voice has wider reach or, at the very least, less aggressive competition.

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

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!

I'm generally less active here right now, but I feel like I'm more free to speak my opinion, overall the community here just feels friendlier

My local cities daily thread is more active than it what's left on Reddit, despite the Reddit community having 600k subs. 410 comments on the Reddit thread, 480 on the lemmy community thread.

It's been like this daily.

Yes, I am significantly more active here than I was on Reddit (at least recently, my decline on posting/commenting on Reddit started a few years ago).

Yes, I didn't have an account and I always browsed via a proxy (Teddit). I didn't want to be manipulated by the algorithm.

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.

yes, never had a reddit account.

My level of activity on Reddit has been wanting. I was / am still fairly active in some niche subs, but I used to be pretty active in AskReddit, askmen, and several other spaces.

I've made a concerted effort to be more active here, and it feels nice! Feels a lot more human
