Because it's new and everyone is still enjoying the "Lemmy good, Plebbit bad" mentality/circlejerk out of the current events we are having.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yeah, definitely engaging way more than before. People are nicer here.
As someone who experienced the digg migration, this is the magical place Reddit once was
I’m trying to find the most popular communities so I can figure out what websites blogs I can post and generate content like I was used to when browsing subreddits
I posted a fair amount on Reddit, this place seems fun.
Yup, mostly lurker to poster
No, I still remain a lousy human
I post way more than I ever did on reddit
One of us, one of us!
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
Smaller communities, more intimate experiences, and overall, the people you'd see here are most likely who won't accept or allow what Reddit now stands for.
Gotta involve more :D make this place what reddit could never become.
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'm doing my part!
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
Oh man tell me about it. I have been commenting on posts that I find interesting all the time here. In Reddit, I was a lurker with maybe a few uploads and upvote/downvote per year. There’s something about lemmy, I guess it’s the potential to be a true community that excites me
Haha, yep
For sure not just you. I noticed my first day too - especially on SDF, which is a much smaller instance. Somehow it feels more like being at a small party compared to being on a crowded subway.
Absolutely
Almost any thread i opened within the first few posts someone already said what i would have said, so i would just scroll until i found my confirmation bias, updoot and move on. i wonder if lemmy will get so massive that the problem comes here.
I’ve always been a comment contributor. I just do it here instead of that old alien site. Also wiped my stuff over there.
I was mostly a lurker on Reddit, but the smaller community on Lemmy has made it so others actually see my comments. On Reddit they would just get lost in the thousands of other comments.
There are definite upsides to having a smaller community.

I am defenitely more active here when posting, but, looking at my reddit-account it becomes clear I was an active commenter before I left.
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.

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.
Already posted several comments. In my 10 years of reddit, I posted perhaps 10 times. So im way above my average on lemmy until now. I try to be more active to attract more lemmings.
Absolutely. It's too easy to get lost in large communities. Smaller communities let you get heard.
