I'll probably get around to making some of the communities that I miss. I don't know that I have time to moderate, so it's still up in the air.

That is what I also did, you can add other mods

I love the feeling that I can post here without feeling insecure. Everyone seems well meaning and welcoming

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've noticed that too. Nobody has tried to show me up or assumed bad faith on my part so far. That's picking weird for the internet.

Don't tell me what to do! Heheheheh

I've been a lurker on reddit for the most part and it seems easier to talk on Lemmy. I guess because it's a smaller community, or because your instance feels a little more private.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

part of it may be that reddit has become so big it's almost like shouting into the void.

Once a post has >300 comments, the only way to have a meaningful conversation is to add to the top-level comments. And soon the top-level comments are all nested with relevant and irrelevant comments.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the comments here are far better.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it definitely feels like there is less pressure in commenting

I'm trying to comment more often, but I have anxiety issues. Baby steps.

I'm working on it, but I'm trying to refrain from making dozens of posts on a community I created. However, I'd have no problems doing so.

I have always been a lurker on reddit and most social media, but Lemmy does make me want to contribute with posting and commenting.

One thing I miss and intend to build as I get more time is indexes and big posts I saw in subreddits of my interest, it would be a good thing to start migrating to Lemmy, for example.

Is it just me or when a post gets too big it is scarier to comment on it?

i would post but for now i don't have anything to post. I was more of a commenter on reddit anyway

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Same here - I was never an active poster, but I love commenting! Must have something to do with our personalities.
