No Stupid Questions

I didn't post on Reddit because I felt no desire to give free content to a business making money from me. Although lots of people really felt like it was a community, I didn't. I thought it was like a theme park - dressed up like a town in order to make you feel like you weren't inside a store. This seems like a real community, at least at the moment.

If anything, the opposite.

The algorithm knew me. Losing the algorithm is like losing a friend... the dickhead that always asked for money.

Yeah, I post more. Gotta do my part to make this community alive.

I have already written more comments here than I ever did on reddit. I want lemmy to succeed and it needs even us lurkers to do that. It ain't much--but I am commenting ;)

I?m posting less overall, I think. I'm used to interactng in specific communities that haven't hit critical mass yet.

I didn't make posts all that often on reddit, but I definitely commented a fair amount. The problem I've got with lemmy right now is there's not as much discussion about stuff I'm interested in, so I'm mainly just looking at All instead of keeping to my subscribed communities.

Definitely I am more willing to post and comment, since reddit fail down. :)

Well yeah I'm currently posting all oc things i made and posted on Reddit to contribute to Lenny so that people are encouraged to join

And i also got a few gigabytes of content I could repost, too.

Definitely posting more, i feel like on reddit it could too easily get a bit aggressive sometimes whereas, whilst people are disagreeing in comments on lemmy, it is a nicer tone. Less intimidating.

That and the volume of messages (lower) makes it feel less intimidating for me.

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.

Lenmy feels very new to me and I'm glad to be away from the echo chamber that's Reddit. No more "who's cutting onions", "this is the way" and "sauce?". I'm done with it. Just done. Let's see what Lemmy had to offer. :)

We're surely in the golden age of Lemmy where the moderators are numerous and engaged enough to keep up with the bots, spammers, and hate mongers. It makes it a pleasant place to be, even if it seems to be overflowing with beans at the moment.

This is my first Lemmy post!

The interactions feel more authentic here. Sometimes I would read a single comment chain where multiple people were talking about separate subjects and somehow still having a conversation. It made my head hurt.

Yup, mostly lurker to poster

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

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.

I don't, tbh I'm still trying to get a feel for the liftoff app and it just doesn't feel as easy as boost and sometimes it's kinda buggy. I also don't know what to post

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Well I'm just new here. I posted a lot on Reddit. But I have to say, I'm running across some new forums (or whatever they're called here) at least one or two a day with hugely interesting discussion. Subscribe subscribe subscribe...I thought my Reddit interest list was pretty solid.

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

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

Ah now that I finally figured out how to comment maybe I can join this trend

I'm for sure posting more in the communities that I really like and those that I want to see succeed.

I figure that the more we all interact, within reason, the more everything will grow.

I havent posted as much here, yet... but I love Lemmy like I love mastodon. I feel like I can have real conversations with real people-- which is something that has been severely lacking on the internet for years.

Same with me. I was a lurker on reddit and never really felt the need to contribute, but with Lemmy I really want the place to grow and it needs content to do that.

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