When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

I'm a lot more active then I was on Reddit.

I was very active in the subs of the games I play (I'm even r/CSRRacing2 mod) when I started there, but I'm getting tired of the hate, stupidity,...

back to a level of activity i would call my "normal". hasn't been like this in almost a decade.

yeah. not sure about the open/free part, with defederation & whatnot, but it's not like those instances stopped existing (unlike with reddit where they just moved to a new subreddit).

hopefully in a few months there'll be a decent mobile client.

I’m so glad to finally join! Signup was tricky and finally got Memmy working for ios. Happy days

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yup, way more active. I used to mainly lurk on reddit. Now I'm commenting more and have actually posted a couple of times.

[–] notun 1 points 2 years ago

Not yet. Not only is there less content, but also a stupid amount of rehashed content. Like people seem to be trying too hard to replicate everything they did on reddit and end up just copying stuff over.

There's some nice big communities here, but the more niche stuff is much harder to replace with the smaller userbase.

I must admit the view of the PC site is growing on me and it looks very concise and put together. If the upvoting quirks can get worked out it'll be great. Happy that once i've viewed comments (like now) this thread will vanish after <3

Even RES old.reddit was annoying to me, very ugly - lemmy looks fresh.

Once the apps get fully fledged, it's off to the races. Well...I already am #Memmyarmy

Also I gave up commenting on reddit, more or less every single time some snippy cunt tries to start an argument over the smallest thing. Exhausting shit...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Looking forward to becoming active in the community

[–] wolfylow 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. I was a Reddit lurker but am much more active on Lemmy. Feels like a nicer/smaller community.

[–] Strangle 1 points 2 years ago

Just started today, but as my reddit activity is going down to zero …. Yes lol

[–] finder585 1 points 2 years ago

Yes and no.

Yes, because if I find something interesting I have been more likely to comment here then on Reddit.

No, because the gaming subs I follow have not moved over here. For example, planetside makes up ~12% of my comment karma on Reddit.

[–] Rengoku 1 points 2 years ago

Depending on the circumstances. I dont like far right and far left subs, so if this lemmy's subs also become far-sides I will stick to my own lemmy.

[–] heliumlake 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, definitely. Maybe I feel like my contributions matter more since we are all trying to make this a viable platform? I dunno, but it's definitely more fun interacting here than on reddit.

[–] kratoz29 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, my screen of time have surpassed Reddit since long ago... And with multiple Lemmy apps!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I'm not very active yet as there are only a few subs that match. Once there are more...

Absolutely! There's some feeling of ownership now that I can host an instance of my own - I want this platform to succeed, I want to give something back to the open source community, even if it's only a small server.

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls 1 points 2 years ago

Yup. Also, it’s nice that the people who do bring the Reddit toxic behavior here get called the fuck out here

[–] gornar 1 points 2 years ago

I post more for sure. Not a lot,but here I'll actually engage here, unlike reddit. I feel like actually investing the time to engage a little bit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’m trying to be more active. It doesn’t come naturally as I’m generally a lurker. Good vibes help though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

To some extent, yeah. It feels like a more tight-nit community here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Never posted on Reddit, too big. love it over here

[–] ekZepp 1 points 2 years ago

For sure. I'm posting in dozen of groups.
