I certainly do! Reddit was just too loud in every way.

Just started today, but as my reddit activity is going down to zero …. Yes lol
Have recently made the jump from Reddit. With a brilliant 3rd party app - go figure!! I expect to be more active here.
I’m trying to be more active. It doesn’t come naturally as I’m generally a lurker. Good vibes help though
My reddit account was soft locked for months barring me from any interaction, just lurk.
I never fixed it because i was wasting to many hours on debates. Yesterday i told my wife i was going to come downstairs after finishing my reply. It took 30minuts.
Lemmy is great and i love interacting with it but honestly i wouldn’t mind a bot that helps me to stop now and then. This cant be good for my mental health in the long run otherwise.
I've been surfing more on Lemmy than on Reddit now, but that being said, the niche subs that I was "most active in" are just not available/big enough in any of the Lemmy instances I've found, so I end up not really commenting much here compared to on Reddit.
Oh yeah, I was telling my wife this exact thing. I feel like I can comment and post way more than I used to and get in discussions cause my comments won't be drowned out as much and when I do see a post it doesn't already have 3k comments on it already like in reddit. A lot more intelligent conversation too which is a nice change.
Edit: sorry about the second comment, my instance isn't updated and is having issues. Tried deleting the second comment but it won't let me lol
So far trying to find my old communities I would run with, can’t seem to find all of them.
I did once find /r/FeedTheBeast on lemmy but no longer can find it on here!
Once I get my rotation I will def use this way more.
Yeah. Im getting very active here.
I'm a lot more active then I was on Reddit.
I was very active in the subs of the games I play (I'm even r/CSRRacing2 mod) when I started there, but I'm getting tired of the hate, stupidity,...
Yes, by far. I wouldn’t really comment on Reddit. Here I do
Yes, absolutely. I'm still not sure if it's because the whole community is smaller here, the people are better, no Karma competition, or a combination of all the above
no Karma competition
EDIT: THANKS FOR THE DOWNVOTES YOU IDIOTS.
EDIT 2: LMAO LIKE I CARE ABOUT DOWNVOTES, KEEP THEM COMING
EDIT 3: YOUR DOWNVOTES FUEL ME
...
EDIT 99: comment removed by user
It's always funny, because they will be at -1 and cry like they don't care, but then delete the comment because they want it to stop lmao.
100% Lemmy content is just so much more up my alley
My level of activity on Reddit has been wanting. I was / am still fairly active in some niche subs, but I used to be pretty active in AskReddit, askmen, and several other spaces.
I've made a concerted effort to be more active here, and it feels nice! Feels a lot more human
I never posted or commented on Reddit. Trying to get in the habit here. This community seems like a better one to be involved in.
Same here
Yes. I gradually disengaged over the years. I will become less active once the pump is primed. Perhaps turn to more technical aspects, as maintaining my own instance. Or be more offline in general.
I feel no difference, I still comment as much as on reddit with the difference that people are more open here and more welcome.
I am definitely less active on Reddit, to the point of absence from posting/commenting. However, I am not very active here either. I have encouraged others on Mastodon to join Lemmy but I acknowledge that it's not as mature as a Reddit replacement, as Mastodon is as a twitter replacement. Definitely both systems are getting better and hopefully, we can move our social networking to the fediverse 100% by 2024.
Looking forward to becoming active in the community
Absolutely! There's some feeling of ownership now that I can host an instance of my own - I want this platform to succeed, I want to give something back to the open source community, even if it's only a small server.
