Lemmy

More than that, spread the word around. Help people register. If Reddit users don't know that lemmy exists no one will use it. We have to get more people AWARE.

Already been posting and commenting more than I ever did in countless years on Reddit!

I think on Reddit there was so many voices I hardly felt it was worth posting or commenting. Someone else would have already posted my thoughts and done it much more eloquently than I would have.

Here every little act of engagement helps, so I’m just jumping right in to posting & commenting without second guessing myself.

Trying hard! What I'd need is a browser extension (Firefox) that just sends me to the fediverse as soon as I type "old.reddit.com" into the address bar to kill some time. Old habits die hard.

Okay, hello ♥️

wildly hits keys on the keyboard

Posting memes always seemed so easy until you have to do it lmao

Reporting for duty!

Yeah I use to be a mad lurker in Reddit, but Lemmy I have become so much more active

Don't tell me what to do!

Ah shit...

Ok, you win this round.

I'm a little confused on how to find more communities to join. I'm on the feddit.nl instance, and I know I can subscribe to communities on any instance, but there isn't really a search button or anything like that, at least not on the Jerboa app. Is there, like, a user guide on how this shit works?

I used to pretty much just lurk when I used reddit, I'd maybe post a comment every few months, but really I'd just lurk. I've easily past the number of posts and comments I ever made to reddit during the many years of using it daily. Initially I wanted to make an effort for Lemmy to succeed, obviously it has less people so as your post is suggesting, I was trying to do my part. I found I really enjoy posting here though, the community is really great.

I’m here, I’m reading, I’m engaged in liking posts and voting, and thank you for the reminder to not lurk thanks reminds me of irc chat days

I'm not lurking, I'm writing this comment.

It's nice to be part of a smaller community again! Hopefully we see more people make the switch

i suppose i will not lurk

Hello, new reddit refugee here. I've been hearing about the fediverse and mastodon some time now. Heard about lemmy a couple of months ago, but didn't feel the need to make an account at the time. With the dumpsterfire that's going on it reddit I figured it was high time I jumped ship.

I have a question that might sound stupid. Is there a way to get the same functionality as reddit's custom feeds in lemmy? Where you have multiple feeds that are "subscribed" to different sets of communities.

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and trying to set up a game thread for the NHL Stanley Cup Finals game tomorrow. Please come join and discuss if you're interested!

I signed up... checks notes... 3 years ago?! I don't even remember why! But I haven't posted much or at all since then. Now that Lemmy is gaining traction and is becoming more active, I'm trying to contribute to it as much as I can. So far, I've tried to comment at least once a day.

Usually a lurker, but I'll make an effort to be active over here.

i just feel so foreign still, then again, everyone does, but it's hard to find the will to interact when you feel foreign, ykwim? like being a stranger at a party, it's all fun and all but it feels pretty hard to just approach a random group of ppl and be like "henlo guys my name is johnathan and i'm here to show u my cat", lmao, but yeah you're right we gotta push it a little bit. no other way to start than by starting.

I prefer to type my response then delete it without submitting.

Based on my experiences on Reddit, I've honestly found that voting is not just incredibly easy¹, but also something that at least I found myself engaging with when I didn't want to write a comment myself LOL

¹ due to the very local results of votes in this kind of format, it doesn't have the same feel as, say, a thumbs up on YouTube (and I very rarely engage with thumbs up etc as a result there), if that makes sense? Like, it's limited to that particular level of the conversation

Although I’m almost exclusively 100% a lurker I will try my best to make posts and post comments and stuff! Hope more folks from Reddit will join us and help make Lemmy a formidable competitor to Reddit.

I wanna see more hot takes in the gaming community. Let's get some arguments going people. Tell me what popular game is overrated garbage

Commenting for the engagement as requested, sir.

Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!

It's really different compared to a lot of forums in the early days where everyone use to say 'lurk moar'
