Its so nice being on a platform where the first 1000 comments on every post aren't just low effort jokes.

    I haven’t even considered this. Most users on Reddit are lurkers. It doesn’t take many of us to make new communities worth visiting

    Former lurker checking in, trying to take this new start on Lemmy as a way to participate more and hopefully contribute a bit, I wonder how many will do the same coming from reddit.

    I am! Mostly lurked because by the time I got to threads they were already too popular and were flooded with hundreds of comments.

    This is what I love about Lemmy so far. I don't open a thread and see the amount of comments that make me not want to add another comment. If I see thousands of comments, I'll assume my joke or point has already been made and just lurk.

    Here, I feel like I can contribute and make these comments

    Coming to a comment thread to reply "this" feels so cheugy. When I think of the heydey of reddit, I think of 2011 in my dorm room doing the grow a college subreddit. And here we are twelve years later and the best experience you can get now is exactly that same experience.

    I think we just witnessed the birth of its use! It vibes like something that's chuggy but has a kind of abstract phlegmy quality to it.

    Who knows - I should be sleeping!

    A month or two ago I got a bunch of downvotes for explaining why I didn't like a game. The people responding said it was because my comment was "too long." It was like six sentences. Why are these people on Reddit instead of Twitter?

    You forgot reposts for karma whoring.

    Yeah lve been a lurker for over 10 years over there and I was sick of all the karma whoring, the low quality posts and especially the pun threads that would bend my face with cringe. Hopefully we can get things right on the Lemmy-verse
