A nice thing about Lemmy's lower population than Reddit (feddit.uk)

On Reddit I generally didn't read attached articles. I'd developed a pretty good intuition where the article title, website and top comments could tell me all I needed to know (And reading the source normally confirmed this)

On Lemmy the smaller numbers of comments mean we need to engage with the content being discussed more directly, which is quite a nice change of pace for us Reddit converts.

For sure. I was largely a lurker on Reddit not because I didn't like engaging with the content and community, but because it was practically impossible for me to engage in anything. Either the post I commented on didn't get popular enough to last long enough for engagement, of by the time I saw something that was popular enough, everyone had already moved on hours ago. It feels much different here where there's fewer posts, and that means that people will spend longer on each post and speak their own mind as well, rather than looking at the top three comments, and moving into the next post.
