Same here! Crossing my fingers hard and commenting and posting way more than I did for years on Reddit.
I have to say that I totally agree with the notion of looking for something that isn't. 'digital sugar rush'.
I enjoyed the deeper and harder discussions around politics, theology and philosophy. However, I only ever posted when I had something to add to the conversation as a lot of the subs I was in were modded by experts, and I'm at best an interested layperson.
I think for the moment at least, I need to brave commenting more. I guess we will have to so is we can attract the same experts to this platform, and get the same level of discussion.
thank you! that's how we gonna make this work
I think I need to find communities that were closer to what I subbed on reddit before I post. I mostly liked meme subs and a lot of the main communities aren't fragmented enough yet for me to post memes on specific shoes/movies/gnaew I like yet. But I've been commenting a lot! โ๐พ
It's going to take time. Reddit took many years to develop that level of niche communities. We've got a really nice surge of momentum right now, so it makes it easier to keep commenting when everything is exciting and growing. But when we do have a lull in activity, try to keep that same energy and stay active. I'm also commenting like 10x more than I used to in Reddit.
It's important to enjoy the journey, right now we still don't have many of the communities we were used to on Reddit, but we do have an environment that is way more positive and hopeful than the jaded feeling of Reddit in 2023. I'm trying not to worry about the niche communities too much and just enjoy the things I couldn't do on reddit, like poke my head into a wide variety of groups and be welcomed in by other users who are happy to engage. On reddit people were much more hostile to each other by default. As long as we maintain these positive vibes, the communities will organically grow back over time.
Yeah! I'm all here for that. Feels good to be a part of something like this
