I used Reddit because I was bored and watching tv. I barely interacted. I am interacting on Lemmy. There was a lot of angry, toxic people on Reddit. So I am glad they are staying there

Man, this is true. So far my experience has been less stressful and more wholesome on the fediverse. It feels more like Reddit from 8 years ago than modern, angry Reddit.

and you can potentially replicate that honeymoon period on a wide variety of instances and local communities, each with their own vibe.

And here your one voice can have an impact on a mag or community. Your contributions can grow a community, and change how it feels.

On Reddit, even a small community is 10,000+ members, your voice is drowned out by thousands of others, your contribution is barely registered.

Part of it is the smaller base, but hopefully with more folks coming in, the different instances can help maintain that vibe

ya i just hope we all can keep the energy. just like anything social media is a habit so if a majority of us refugees can just make this shit the new habit, soon this place will feel very similar

i dont need 1000s of reposts. i need some good quality shit and good comments and ill stick around i think

i still have RiF on my phone. but when thats dead, ill only go to reddit for its legacy shit. the help comments and shit. i wish someone could scrape all the info off reddit and put it somewhere else. i can barely tie my shoes so i dont understand how that would work but i just dont wanna loose old reddit shit

You just made me realize I've been sitting here for two hours in a now-dark room and I haven't turned the TV on yet. Fediverse truly is like the old reddit.

My fediverse experience got much calmer after joining an instance that blocks some problematic instances as well. I recommend beehaw.org to everyone.

Everyone on DIY loves my kind of basic project that I posted. It's a pleasant feeling
