I'm not there yet, although I did a lot on Reddit

Agreed - stopped posting and sharing on Reddit a while ago. I engage more and find this place more engaging. It’s good!

Yeah. Im getting very active here.

Absolutely, but that is expected. The community is much smaller here. How many times did you go to a post on Reddit to make a comment only to find someone else had already said it. That is less likely here so you naturally have more to contribute.

Definitely, I was a lurker or Reddit except for the occasional question to a programming subreddit.

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

Yes

Yes. Smaller community, and generally more intelligent, or at least more capable of having a meaningful discussion.

I think it's something that happens when you throw a larger group of people together, like reddit, where people act a bit different ime

Even I am less toxic, and more positive. Something about reddit messed that up.

Atp, I'm here more for discourse than any specific content, and that's something I really missed about social media.

The smaller the community, the bigger the impact of your opinions.

For example, just on my own, I can reach a good 50% impact on anything I say unless my wife says something different.

I am more actif here than on reddit. There was a time on reddit I stopped even upvotes and down votes when I noticed they are changing philosophy. Here I post more stuff and wrote more comments. Sometimes to add value to discussions and sometimes just for the sake of commenting and getting activity rolling.

Have been wanting to say this for a while, but same here! I feel like Lemmy is much more tight-knitted and closer than Reddit because it is just smaller!

My 2-week old lemmy account is already more active than my 10-year-old reddit account. I love this place!

Also, I just tried to check my old main reddit account, and noticed it's suspended. I made 0 posts regarding reddit's mismanagement of this situation, 0 endorsements for lemmy.. just haven't logged in there since the API announcement. Oh well 🤷‍♂️ Can't say I'll miss it.

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.

Much more active here for sure. I was more of a lurker on Reddit. I'm not sure why, but I'm just way more active here. Perhaps I want Lemmy to succeed and so I'm doing my part.

I’m only a new transfer but all of these comments are making me feel like I want to begin to take part here now as well!

Absolutely, by necessity. Can’t really take it for granted that being a lurker won’t overall impact the site. Unfortunately, my usual subs that I participate in haven’t yet made the leap of faith, so its hard to provide quality contribution until that improves

barely, but I'm trying

I definitely am posting more too. Id like to think this because this will turn out to be a much more genuine community than reddit, but i think there is a chance that this just dies down in the coming months. Hoping for the former of course.

I actually made an account.

Yes, I didn't have an account and I always browsed via a proxy (Teddit). I didn't want to be manipulated by the algorithm.

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.

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.

I think I'm about as active here as I was on Reddit. Always was more of a reader.

I definitely am. I may have more comments and posts here than on Reddit already and I have only been here a fraction of the time.

Most of my Reddit commenting was done on threads for people looking for advice in one of my hobbies. I generally had a good experience giving feedback here since most people in the subreddit were level headed. Sometimes you got the occasional asshole parroting the usual online "best way to do something" that goes against some people's actual real life experience that is being shared.

I didn't really make any meaningful (non joke) comments outside of this subreddit since I didn't feel like getting some dick in my notifications trying to start a fight over whatever I posted. Sometimes I didn't mind battling the dicks in the hobby subreddit since people lurking can actually learn or get a different perspective from "No, you shouldn't take what's in a listicle as fact. Here is my experience with this."

For me it was always difficult to be active on R so the atmosphere here is much more pleasant.
