No Stupid Questions

I've posted 4 threads on Kbin which is, to my knowledge, more than I had posted on Reddit. So, yes indeed! The difference here is pretty much that you do not need to post at a specific time of the day to get any exposure at all in my experience.

Definitely, don't feel nearly as self conscious about posting with less activity

My posting activity has increased exponentially because I'm not instantly banned for literally anything I post. And I wasn't one to say needlessly hateful things but I guess a mod or admin didn't appreciate my irritation with them. This is more gooder.

I’ve always been a comment contributor. I just do it here instead of that old alien site. Also wiped my stuff over there.

For sure not just you. I noticed my first day too - especially on SDF, which is a much smaller instance. Somehow it feels more like being at a small party compared to being on a crowded subway.

Somewhat because I’m hoping to help build the community we want!

I'm doing my part!

I got banned for ‘ban evading’, so I’m glad to post again.

I had 2 accounts (one for school/comp Sci, one for everything else) I insulted a mod in a larger sub and got banned on account A. Forgot I was banned from it and commented on the sub it with account B. This was around winter/spring when they were testing new ban tools and got full ban on current/new accounts I make so I’ve been loving Lemmy so far.

Yeah I started posting here too

Smaller communities, more intimate experiences, and overall, the people you'd see here are most likely who won't accept or allow what Reddit now stands for.

Oh man tell me about it. I have been commenting on posts that I find interesting all the time here. In Reddit, I was a lurker with maybe a few uploads and upvote/downvote per year. There’s something about lemmy, I guess it’s the potential to be a true community that excites me

Seems like there's more reason to participate here. I may end up posting more, but several of my posts returned in error. Server issues, I assume, but frustrating when I'd have to rewrite everything.

Absolutely

I am defenitely more active here when posting, but, looking at my reddit-account it becomes clear I was an active commenter before I left.

Absolutely. It's too easy to get lost in large communities. Smaller communities let you get heard.

I literally haven't posted anything on reddit since the blackout. All of my posting has been in the fediverse...

this place is just way nicer than reddit, don't see as many arguments over nothing here

Yeah there was no real contributions worthwhile on Reddit on main subs. I was in a few smaller subs that would chat daily but nothing big.

Absolutely, this feels less intimidating in a way. I've probably commented more here at the fediverse over the last few weeks then my whole time at Reddit

Gotta involve more :D make this place what reddit could never become.

I'm hoping to get more active as the platforms stabalize and I learn how everything works.

I'm pretty confident that things are going to take off soon! Loving the conversion on this platform so far, also enjoying the randomness.

It will be nice to have some more definition and focus for some topics (this is also probably me just being a noob at this) but I'm not really in a rush to get there as the information is available elsewhere, but the current atmosphere with Lemmy feels very unique and special

Definitely true at the moment as I'm trying to understand how this all works and where I want to be within it! I'll have to see if I go back to my lurking ways after the curiosity has died down, but so far I kinda like being able to pick communities not just for what they have, but also what the vibes are. I always hated negative stuff in r/gaming and other game subreddits, but I loved r/lowsodiumcyberpunk. I think beehaws gaming community seems so cool because of their emphasis on be(e)ing nice.

I comment more but post little. But I'm also on vacation so maybe I'll post more when I'm back home

One of us, one of us!

No karma (on Kbin it's hidden inside the profile page, so same deal), healthier interactions, mods seem to have less tolerance to bullshit, and smaller userbase on instances in comparison with Reddit's huge userbase. It's a win-win.

Definitely, but I also maintain my own Lemmy instance and moderate [email protected]. I also want Lemmy to succeed, so I am more inclined to engage than lurk, because the more activity, the more appealing Lemmy will look for newcomers, resulting in even more activity!
