I don't disagree with you!

I just would like to see certain niche communities grow here too because Lemmy is great and (so far) it feels like the conversations here are nicer, so I'd like people to move here to make Lemmy even better

Ah, I hadn't noticed this level of worsening. I suppose because when I visit I still go to niche subreddits and there the impact is less noticeable (but you do notice it).

I suppose great moderators have left the platform and they've been replaced by others who would like to be as good (but are crippled by new Reddit rules allowing many more trolls) or those that just don't care or are straight crazy!

Low does not mean zero, but this is still good news!

Well, I still visit Reddit once a week since there are communities there that don't yet exist here (or they are nearly empty).

I'm now all the time on Lemmy and am even much more active than what I ever was on Reddit, but I only have so much time.

I noticed there are slightly less quality posts in some subreddits, but I wouldn't call Reddit crushed.

In fact, subscribers in all the subreddits I used to follow are actually up and even by a lot, while Lemmy users don't really seem to increase by much (though I'd like them to).

I'd like to see a sudden growth in Lemmy and fall of Reddit, but I don't think it's anywhere near (though I'll keep doing my part here!)

Eternity does that too, when you click on the comment button you can change the account from within the comment

Yay for Portal and Portal 2!!!

Is this a Portal reference? I remember hearing it from GLADOS!

I had not realized there was an Onion instance here on Lemmy until a week ago. I'm a better person now!

After writing my comment, I did some research again and found an old Reddit post suggesting to lower the resolution to 1280x800 on a 13' screen. I did so, just as a test, and now when I open websites like YouTube or Roll20, the fan is always off. I'll try it tomorrow with Google Meet and Webex, which is also something that made the fan explode.

Wow, OK.

I did not know that. I meant to keep Firefox afloat, much like I donate to Wikipedia. Good to know then (there are other important projects to donate too)!

Thanks!!!

I've always been a lurker on my main Reddit account. I'm much more talkative here and even posted something sometimes, but I doubt I'll become a regular poster and so I'm still hoping somebody will be as active here as most people are on Reddit
