I havent posted as much here, yet... but I love Lemmy like I love mastodon. I feel like I can have real conversations with real people-- which is something that has been severely lacking on the internet for years.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
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 intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, 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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Have not made a post yet (busy with school and work) but I definitely comment more. Feels so much like web 1.0 forums with a splash of 2.0.
I commented on reddit a lot, many times a day for many years. After the latest bullshit I had no qualms about dropping it like a hot potato. Bye bye, not going back. The future of social media is decentralized.
Yup, mostly lurker to poster
I love posting here! It, like you said, has a much nicer and kinder vibe here 💕
I’m trying to find the most popular communities so I can figure out what websites blogs I can post and generate content like I was used to when browsing subreddits

Definitely I am more willing to post and comment, since reddit fail down. :)
Definitely posting more, i feel like on reddit it could too easily get a bit aggressive sometimes whereas, whilst people are disagreeing in comments on lemmy, it is a nicer tone. Less intimidating.
That and the volume of messages (lower) makes it feel less intimidating for me.
As someone who experienced the digg migration, this is the magical place Reddit once was
We're surely in the golden age of Lemmy where the moderators are numerous and engaged enough to keep up with the bots, spammers, and hate mongers. It makes it a pleasant place to be, even if it seems to be overflowing with beans at the moment.
This is my first Lemmy post!
I barely interacted in Reddit. But communities here makes me want to participate.
I post way more than I ever did on reddit
Finding it way easier to engage and comment. Don't have to wade through thousands of shit comments on Lemmy. Loving it!

Much more so! Reddit just felt so vast it all just felt so damn futile haha
No, I still remain a lousy human
Yep, this site has really chill vibes and it encourages posting
I'm going to make an active effort to post stuff here, I used to just be a commenter on Reddit, time to branch out and try interacting with this place more. Should be fun.
Yes. I want to contribute to Lenny’s success if I can 😀
Almost any thread i opened within the first few posts someone already said what i would have said, so i would just scroll until i found my confirmation bias, updoot and move on. i wonder if lemmy will get so massive that the problem comes here.
Just created this account, let's see.
For sure, similar to what others expressed to help with engagement/activity. The centralized for-profit platforms hold way too much power over my infotainment appetite.
I've become a more avid lurker compared to a infrequent lurker on reddit
I would have commented 4 times in last many years on reddit. On Lemmy (across instances) I have already posted over 40 in the last few weeks.
Same Literally never posted on Reddit in my decade of lurking. Lemmy is more welcoming and 'charming' IMO
I'm trying to be a more avid poster but the gateway errors are making it difficult.
Just joined lemmy last night. (Now it's morning where I am from). Already commented 3-4 times. On reddit I used to comment once probably in a couple of weeks. It's probably because it's something very new and interesting. Also I am finding that people around seem nicer in a way maybe?
