Always felt unwelcome posting anything on reddit. Lemmy is new enough and filled with people who are nice enough to make feel like I wont get yelled at for commenting or posting.
I used to be an avid participant on reddit, but haven’t been for a long time. Now on Lemmy, I feel like participating again.
I think it’s because it’s on us to make this a great place now. Like, we can’t just migrate and be silent. Or migrate and be assholes. We come here, we gotta participate positively, so I’m just doing my part.
I was on reddit for almost 15 years and i mostly just commented. I posted maybe 5 or 6 times at most. Been on lemmy for 2 days and im already at 3 (shitposts).
What I like about Lemmy is, that you don’t need to be one of the first comments to interact with people. On Reddit you would easily be buried somewhere at the bottom but most Lemmy posts I see have a really nice comment section. People are more likely to see your comment because the posts don’t have hundreds of comments but there are still enough comments to start a conversation. I also love that I can have conversations stretched over days. I don’t browse Lemmy often. I don’t need to feel bad when I answer something a day later.
I absolutely did, at least for commenting. Partly because I want to create traffic for Lemmy, and partly because it feels just… Nicer here. More genuine interaction, less quippy one liners or insults.

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All posts titles must include a question.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That’s it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content. Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Honestly, I even set up my own instance, feels much more relevant.

I’ve always been a lurker, but I am trying to change. However, I don’t want to comment for the sake of just commenting as well.
I also never comment for the sake of commenting
Same
That is my stance as well

Nope, since I left reddit I spend less time mindlessly looking at my phone. But I do enjoy lemmy in healthy doses.
For sure. Also more happy to upvote.
I feel the need to contribute so the community continues to thrive.

Excellent contribution, Citizen o7
You have to add kindling to build the fire, and thats why I try not to only lurk here.
It’s absolutely more work to not just lurk, but it’s way more fulfilling.

Why do you think there was allways such a dog pile comments wise on Reddit vs Lemmy?
Do you think it’s just due to the amount of users?
I’m in this boat. I just want to see lemmy succeed as a legit Reddit alternative.

For sure! That’s because I was banned, though. I said something to trumpers in a thread that was just apparently too much. Happy to be here, though.
I had a Reddit account ~10y ago. I was only a lurker in the days before the exodus. This feels like a real community.
Frist psot! /s
Lemmy is full. Pls leave
