A nice thing about Lemmy's lower population than Reddit (feddit.uk)

On Reddit I generally didn't read attached articles. I'd developed a pretty good intuition where the article title, website and top comments could tell me all I needed to know (And reading the source normally confirmed this)

On Lemmy the smaller numbers of comments mean we need to engage with the content being discussed more directly, which is quite a nice change of pace for us Reddit converts.

Same, I never felt like participating on reddit because a lot of the content i saw was already past its moment, it seems silly to comment when no one has engaged in hours, let alone a post a week old or something.

There's a lot more engagement to be had here.
