Asklemmy

Yes because:

1. I want to see it take off and want to do my bit
2. It feels like a more chilled environment in which to participate

Just started today, but as my reddit activity is going down to zero …. Yes lol

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.

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.

back to a level of activity i would call my "normal". hasn't been like this in almost a decade.

I definitely am. I may have more comments and posts here than on Reddit already and I have only been here a fraction of the time.

Yes, I didn't have an account and I always browsed via a proxy (Teddit). I didn't want to be manipulated by the algorithm.

Might be a case of "grass is always greener." I feel like more eyes and engagement happens for my posts and comments on Reddit. Over here it feels empty yet full, which is weird.

To some extent, yeah. It feels like a more tight-nit community here.

Me at this point.

Here people actually react to what I post and write. And they react to the best possible interpretation of what I wrote, not the worst. And even if we disagree, we can still have a nice conversation.

Does anyone have a good theory about why the threadiverse is so much friendlier? Is it only because it's smaller? Is it because of the kind of people a new platform like this attracts? Because there is no karma? Maybe something else?

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 never posted or commented on Reddit. Trying to get in the habit here. This community seems like a better one to be involved in.

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

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

Yes, by far. I wouldn’t really comment on Reddit. Here I do

I’m trying to be more active. It doesn’t come naturally as I’m generally a lurker. Good vibes help though

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

Yeah. Im getting very active here.
