When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

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,...

100% Lemmy content is just so much more up my alley

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

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

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.

I have been posting more than I ever had on Reddit. Mostly because I got my news from Reddit, but over here I have to bring the news to Lemmy.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I'd mostly comment on shitposts, and there's less here so I feel like I comment less

[–] lasagna@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Nah. Thankfully my mindless scrolling time has taken a dive, which is an issue I had been meaning to address regardless.

[–] CupDock@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I mean, I'm not the most active, but I made a sublemmy (I'm still not sure about the naming convention here lol) and that's something I never did on Reddit, because everything was usually already there in some form. I also did it to contribute, because I know that us being active actually counts for something. On Reddit I could go months without posting or commenting. So yes, I'm definitely more active and it feels like you are actually engaging with other people and not just consuming content.

[–] InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Undoubtedly! I was always more of a lurker, but I think I've posted as many comments here in the last couple of weeks as I did in 11 years of Reddit... Lemmy is, somehow, much more inviting.

I'm not very active yet as there are only a few subs that match. Once there are more...

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.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I feel no difference, I still comment as much as on reddit with the difference that people are more open here and more welcome.

[–] flameguy21@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've found myself commenting here more because there's less people. Which means they're way nicer and it doesn't feel like I'm just screaming into the void.

[–] signofzeta@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, though I know it’s only temporary. Once we’re done with poop and beans, it’ll just take the place of Reddit and I’ll chill out.

I never posted on Reddit. Every time I did it was a bad time. I could post the most innocuous thing imaginable (The sky is blue. Water is wet), and without fail have at least a few people telling me I was stupid, naive, woke, a Nazi, whatever. There is a ton of extremist energy around here too, but the radical left is much easier for me to stomach than the radical right.

My local cities daily thread is more active than it what's left on Reddit, despite the Reddit community having 600k subs. 410 comments on the Reddit thread, 480 on the lemmy community thread.

It's been like this daily.

[–] StarLuigi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

My cities thread on Reddit isn't even active.

[–] Mylemming@aussie.zone 0 points 2 years ago

Never posted on Reddit, too big. love it over here

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Yes. I'm looking forward to more original content rather that all of the reposts from reddit. I'm not sure when that tipping point will be, but I hope it doesn't have to do anything with poo.

[–] TheCommonMan@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Don't be delusional, our opinions still does not matter.
