No Stupid Questions

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

I post way more than I ever did on reddit

Yeah, definitely engaging way more than before. People are nicer here.

I love posting here! It, like you said, has a much nicer and kinder vibe here 💕

I commented on reddit a lot, many times a day for many years. After the latest bullshit I had no qualms about dropping it like a hot potato. Bye bye, not going back. The future of social media is decentralized.

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.

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

Although it’s only been a couple of days, I feel more connected here. You don’t have conversations on Reddit anymore unless you’re a in a small subreddit. If you don’t comment on a Reddit post within the first hour, no one sees it. It’s not about karma, it’s about engagement and community.

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

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

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.

Part of it is probably also that, because it's new, there's none of that stupid reddit insider culture. Like not being allowed to do this or that or say this or that without being crucified in the comments.

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

Posting links or content? Not so much but I’ve definitely commented a lot more.

I'm trying to support the change. I joined 6/11, I stopped visiting the other site the same time.

I created a community that didn't exist yet here (in the fediverse) and am trying to post /comment more then I would normally. I wasn't a lurker over there but I am more engaged here.

Long live the new(ish) fediverse :)

Edit: I also removed my content and deleted my 12yo account on 7/1

I definitely did. A lot of the communities I'm interested in are even smaller here, so I can actually post without just falling off the 'new' feed. Plus I've been commenting more too, and it seems like I'm not the only one. Got some local restaurant recommendations lol

No karma (on Kbin it's hidden inside the profile page, so same deal), healthier interactions, mods seem to have less tolerance to bullshit, and smaller userbase on instances in comparison with Reddit's huge userbase. It's a win-win.

Definitely, but I also maintain my own Lemmy instance and moderate [email protected]. I also want Lemmy to succeed, so I am more inclined to engage than lurk, because the more activity, the more appealing Lemmy will look for newcomers, resulting in even more activity!

I comment more but post little. But I'm also on vacation so maybe I'll post more when I'm back home

Yeah, definitely, idk I even started a community in [email protected] and created a user script to change all links on all websites to one's home instance. Definitely want this to succeed.

Definitely true at the moment as I'm trying to understand how this all works and where I want to be within it! I'll have to see if I go back to my lurking ways after the curiosity has died down, but so far I kinda like being able to pick communities not just for what they have, but also what the vibes are. I always hated negative stuff in r/gaming and other game subreddits, but I loved r/lowsodiumcyberpunk. I think beehaws gaming community seems so cool because of their emphasis on be(e)ing nice.

Absolutely, this feels less intimidating in a way. I've probably commented more here at the fediverse over the last few weeks then my whole time at Reddit

Gotta involve more :D make this place what reddit could never become.

I'm hoping to get more active as the platforms stabalize and I learn how everything works.

I'm pretty confident that things are going to take off soon! Loving the conversion on this platform so far, also enjoying the randomness.

It will be nice to have some more definition and focus for some topics (this is also probably me just being a noob at this) but I'm not really in a rush to get there as the information is available elsewhere, but the current atmosphere with Lemmy feels very unique and special

Much more so! Reddit just felt so vast it all just felt so damn futile haha

this place is just way nicer than reddit, don't see as many arguments over nothing here

Yeah there was no real contributions worthwhile on Reddit on main subs. I was in a few smaller subs that would chat daily but nothing big.

I literally haven't posted anything on reddit since the blackout. All of my posting has been in the fediverse...

Definitely, don't feel nearly as self conscious about posting with less activity

Seems like there's more reason to participate here. I may end up posting more, but several of my posts returned in error. Server issues, I assume, but frustrating when I'd have to rewrite everything.
